Lower back pain is one of the most common health problems, for which MRI is extensively used. Standard clinical, and fast acquisition images of lumbar spine were acquired for 18 patients. A (DL)-based image reconstruction was applied to the raw data of the fast images, with 25%, 50%, and 75% noise reduction factors. Evaluation of fast images with DL algorithm, for image quality, diagnostic capability, and SNR to standard images was conducted by three experienced radiologists. Our results show SNR improvement with higher noise reduction factor without a severe degradation in the ability to discern anatomical structures.
