Synopsis

Keywords: Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, Image ReconstructionImproving image resolution by denoising is an important research goal in MRI reconstruction. An emerging technique, deep learning reconstruction (DLR), has shown great potential in MRI denoising. In this study, we included 37 patients with pathologically diagnosed hepatic malignancy, and compared the image quality of DLR and original reconstruction regarding dual echo T1 weighted sequence, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and fat-suppressed T1 weighted gadolinium-enhancement. It was shown that DLR significantly improved the image quality by reducing background noise, thus making hepatic malignancy more conspicuous.
