Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate quantification of WM lesion load is essential for the care of patients with multiple sclerosis. We tested whether the combination of accelerated 3D-FLAIR and denoising using deep learning-based reconstruction could provide a relevant strategy while shortening the imaging examination.
