Synopsis

Deep learning MR super-resolution (SR) is a promising approach to reduce scan time without requiring custom sequences and iterative reconstruction. However, previous SR approaches are incompatible with turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence due to differences in T2 blurring effects between high-resolution and low-resolution TSE images. Here we propose a T2-deblurred deep learning SR model for 3x3 in-plane super-resolution of 3D TSE images. Our method accelerated scanning by 9x in both retrospective and prospective testing and provided better image quality than previous SR methods.
