Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used to evaluate cervical spinal canal stenosis; however, some patients are ineligible for MRI. We aimed to assess the effect of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in evaluating cervical spinal canal stenosis using computed tomography (CT) compared with hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid IR).
