To assess intra- and inter-field strength reproducibility of volumetric parameters using deep-learning-based real-time cardiac cine MRI during breath-hold (BH) and free-breathing (FB). In this prospective single-center study, 56 healthy adults underw...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning-accelerated single-shot turbo-spin-echo techniques (DL-HASTE) enable single-breath-hold T2-weighted abdominal imaging. However, studies evaluating the image quality of DL-HASTE with and without fat saturation (FS) remain lim...

. This study presents machine learning (ML) models that predict if deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) is needed based on lung dose in right-sided breast cancer patients during the initial computed tomography (CT) appointment.. Anatomic distances wer...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the image quality of a deep learning (DL)-accelerated volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) sequence with a standard (ST) VIBE sequence in assessing the uterus.
Breath-hold T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the upper abdomen with a slice thickness below 5 mm suffers from high image noise and blurring. The purpose of this prospective ...

Cardiac Cine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides an accurate assessment of heart morphology and function in clinical practice. However, MRI requires long acquisition times, with recent deep learning-based methods showing great promise to accele...
INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the feasibility of single breath-hold (BH) diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) compared to navigator triggered (NT) DWI in patients with malignant liver tumors.
