Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of a commercially available deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) algorithm with varying combinations of DLR noise reduction settings and imaging parameters on quantitative and qualitative image quality, PI-RADS classification and examination time in prostate T2-weighted (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted (DWI) imaging.
