Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a multicontrast deep learning (DL)-reconstructed 4-fold accelerated 2-dimensional (2D) turbo spin echo (TSE) protocol and the feasibility of 3-dimensional (3D) superresolution reconstruction (SRR) of DL-enhanced 6-fold accelerated 2D Dixon TSE magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for comprehensive knee joint assessment, by comparing image quality and diagnostic performance with a conventional 2-fold accelerated 2D TSE knee MRI protocol.
