PMID: 39667642

Abstract

PURPOSES: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Super-Resolution Deep Learning Reconstruction (SR-DLR) -a deep learning-based technique that enhances image resolution and quality during MRI reconstruction- in improving the image quality of thin-slice 3D T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) assessment in prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
