Abstract

AIM: We sought to assess the image quality of three-dimensional (3D) T2-weighted (T2w) turbo spin echo (TSE) sequences with deep learning (DL)-constrained compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction relative to a reference two-dimensional (2D) T2w TSE sequence for routine clinical lumbar spine MRI.
