Abstract

PURPOSE: MR image quality and subsequent brain morphometric analysis are inevitably affected by noise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based post-scan processing denoising system, intelligent Quick Magnetic Resonance (iQMR), on MR image quality and brain morphometric analysis.
