Comparison of image quality and lesion conspicuity between conventional and deep learning reconstruction in gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the image quality and lesion conspicuity of conventional vs deep learning (DL)-based reconstructed three-dimensional T1-weighted images in gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods

This prospective study (NCT05182099) enrolled participants scheduled for gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI due to suspected focal liver lesions (FLLs) who provided signed informed consent. A liver MRI was conducted using a 3-T scanner. T1-weighted images were reconstructed using both conventional and DL-based (AIR^TM Recon DL 3D) reconstruction algorithms. Three radiologists independently reviewed the image quality and lesion conspicuity on a 5-point scale.

Results

Fifty participants (male = 36, mean age 62 ± 11 years) were includ
