An AI algorithm can help radiology providers reduce certain MRI scan times by 57% while still maintaining image quality, according to new research published Monday.
Scientists with the University of Cologne in Germany recently tested this approach via a prospective study involving 20 volunteers. Sequences were acquired with two different resolutions (standard and low), and two radiologists assessed the scans.
The fast 2D knee MRI protocol was achieved by combining compressed sensing with a new deep learning-based image reconstruction approach, experts explained in the European Journal of Radiology [1]. Results were compared against images gathered using the more established compressed sensing method.
This new approach outperformed traditional CS in both standard and low-resolution acquisitions, leading to better ratings for the...
