Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the feasibility of using deep learning-based super-resolution (DL-SR) technique on low-resolution (LR) images to generate high-resolution (HR) MR images with the aim of scan time reduction. The efficacy of DL-SR was also assessed through the application of brain volume measurement (BVM).
