Synopsis

Keywords: DWI/DTI/DKI, Bladder

Motivation: Deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) significantly improves image quality and addresses many limitations of traditional sequences. Building on DLR, this study compares the effectiveness of different diffusion sequences (FOCUS-MUSE, MUSE, FOCUS, and SS-DWI) for bladder imaging.

Goal(s): The goal is to provide guidance for clinical diffusion scanning practices.

Approach: A prospective study involving 23 patients included both qualitative assessments by radiologists and quantitative analyses of SNR, CNR, and ADC values, providing a detailed evaluation of each sequence's performance.

Results: The results showed that FOCUS-MUSE and MUSE had higher SNR and CNR compared to other sequences, with MUSE achieving the highest overall ratings.

Impact: Offers insights into selecting optimal diffusion sequences for bladder imaging under deep learning-based reconstruction, enhancing clinical efficiency and accuracy.
