Correction of Arterial-Phase Motion Artifacts in Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced Liver MRI Using an Innovative Unsupervised Network.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to propose and evaluate DR-CycleGAN, a disentangled unsupervised network by introducing a novel content-consistency loss, for removing arterial-phase motion artifacts in gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI examinations. From June 2020 to July 2021, gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI data were retrospectively collected in this center to establish training and testing datasets. Motion artifacts were semi-quantitatively assessed using a five-point Likert scale (1 = no artifact, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe, and 5 = non-diagnostic) and quantitatively evaluated using the structural similarity index (SSIM) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). The datasets comprised a training dataset (308 examinations, including 58 examinations with artifact grade = 1 and 250 examinations wi
