Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) in improving image quality and tumor detectability of isovoxel high-resolution breath-hold fat-suppressed T1-weighted imaging (HR-BH-FS-T1WI) in the hepatobiliary phase (HBP) of Gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-MRI).
