Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of a high-precision single-shot fast spin-echo (SS-FSE) sequence using the deep learning-based Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) algorithm in comparison with standard SS-FSE for T2-weighted MR imaging of the abdomen, and to compare the image quality with a multi-shot (MS)-FSE sequence using the PIQE algorithm.
