Synopsis

Multiplanar high resolution T2-weighted (T2W) imaging with a 2D fast spin echo (FSE) sequence is currently an essential component of rectal cancer MRI. In this work, we performed T2W imaging of rectal cancer with a 3D FSE sequence and evaluated the quality and potential clinical value of the images after applying a postprocessing deep learning reconstruction (DLR) algorithm. We found that DLR images are non-inferior to conventional images and there are fair-moderate inter-reader agreements in a large majority of the categories evaluated for image quality and clinical usefulness.
