Synopsis

Keywords: Pancreas, Pancreas

Motivation: A clinical 3T MR system is preferably utilized due to higher image quality and better recognition of lesions and anatomy compared to 1.5T MR.

Goal(s): Our goal was to show improved abilities of 1.5T with deep learning reconstruction (DL) in evaluation of the pancreatobiliary regions comparing 3T without DL.

Approach: In 9 patients, image qualities and information of vasculatures and soft tissues of dynamic Gd-contrast images of pancreatobiliary regions on 1.5T with DL were compared to those previously obtained on 3T without DL.

Results: 1.5T systems with DL can provide competitive information to those with 3T systems without DL for the pancreatobiliary regions.

Impact: DL reconstruction can fully utilize a 1.5T MR, providing competitive information to a 3T MR without DL for dynamic contrast studies in the pancreatobiliary regions. This can enhance patient-throughput without major socio-economic investment.
