Synopsis

Fast and high-resolution T2*w and susceptibility-weighted imaging is an essential part of brain MR assessment for many neurological conditions. Very high spatial resolution can be helpful for visualization of microvascular details as well as the central vein sign in white matter Multiple Sclerosis lesions, but such scans have a long acquisition time. In this abstract, we demonstrate high-quality whole-brain T2*w and susceptibility-based MRI at 0.5 mm isotropic resolution in less than 4 minutes using a 3D-echo-planar acquisition and a deep learning reconstruction. Finally, straightforward improvements are discussed for further reduction of the scan time.
