Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a vendor-specific deep learning reconstruction algorithm (DLRA) in enhancing image quality and focal lesion detection using three-dimensional T1-weighted gradient-echo images in gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients at a high risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.
