Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The imaging of inflammatory myelopathies has advanced significantly across time, with MRI techniques playing a pivotal role in enhancing lesion detection. However, the impact of deep learning (DL)-based reconstruction on 3D double inversion recovery (DIR) imaging for inflammatory myelopathies remains unassessed. This study aimed to compare the acquisition time, image quality, diagnostic confidence, and lesion detection rates among sagittal T2WI, standard DIR, and DL-reconstructed DIR in patients with inflammatory myelopathies.
