Abstract

PURPOSE: To compare image quality in prostate MRI among standard T2-weighted imaging (T2-std), accelerated T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) with high resolution (T2-HR) and more accelerated T2WI with lower resolution (T2-LR) using both conventional reconstruction (C) and deep learning reconstruction (DL).
