Abstract
BACKGROUND: T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), renowned for its sensitivity to edema and lesions, faces clinical limitations due to prolonged scanning time, increasing patient discomfort, and motion artifacts. The individual applications of artificial intelligence-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) and deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) technologies have demonstrated effectiveness in accelerated scanning. However, the synergistic potential of ACS combined with DLR at 5.0T remains unexplored. This study systematically evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of the integrated ACS-DLR technique for T2WI at 5.0T, comparing it to conventional parallel imaging (PI) protocols.
