Synopsis

Brain data with high grade glioma were acquired with a 3D multiparameter mapping sequence and reconstructed with a novel deep learning based method (DL Recon). Synthetic images created from maps fitted to the reconstructed images were rated by experienced radiologists for image quality and diagnostic utility. Images from the DL Recon workflow consistently rated equal to or better than those created from conventional reconstruction. We find that the SNR and resolution benefits of 3D DL Recon extend to improve the resulting relaxation maps and subsequent synthetic images.
