Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Deep learning (DL)-based reconstruction enables improving the quality of MR images acquired with a short scan time. We aimed to prospectively compare the image quality and diagnostic performance in evaluating cervical degenerative spine diseases and myelopathy between conventional cervical MRI and accelerated cervical MRI with a commercially available vendor-neutral DL-based reconstruction.
