Abstract

PURPOSE: Deep learning superresolution (SR) is a promising approach to reduce MRI scan time without requiring custom sequences or iterative reconstruction. Previous deep learning SR approaches have generated low-resolution training images by simple k-space truncation, but this does not properly model in-plane turbo spin echo (TSE) MRI resolution degradation, which has variable T relaxation effects in different k-space regions. To fill this gap, we developed a T -deblurred deep learning SR method for the SR of 3D-TSE images.
