Synopsis

Novel deep learning (DL) reconstruction methods may accelerate female pelvis MRI protocols keeping high image quality. The value of a novel DL reconstruction of T2-weighted (T2_DLR) turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequences for female pelvis MRI in three orthogonal planes was evaluated. We evaluated examination times, image quality, and lesion conspicuity of benign uterine disease. The T2_DLR quantitative parameters remained similar or were significantly improved compared with that of standard T2 TSE (T2_S), allowing for a 62.7% reduction in acquisition times. Applying this novel T2_DLR sequence achieved better image quality and shorter acquisition time than T2_S.
