Despite its potential as an imaging biomarker in assessing tumor response to therapy, use of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as a quantitative endpoint is not routine in clinical practice. One factor that limits the usefulness of ADC is the presence of artifacts in the constituent diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data. In this study, we propose a supervised deep-learning approach to detect the presence of Nyquist ghosts in axial DWI slices of the abdomen, achieving a test accuracy of 81.5%. The detection and removal of these artifacts could help improve the reproducibility of quantitative ADC measurements.
