Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accelerated and blood-suppressed postcontrast 3D intracranial vessel wall MRI (IVW) enables high-resolution rapid scanning but is associated with low SNR. We hypothesized that a deep-learning (DL) denoising algorithm applied to accelerated, blood-suppressed postcontrast IVW can yield high-quality images with reduced artifacts and higher SNR in shorter scan times.
