Abstrakt: A report from the University of Occupational and Environmental Health in Fukuoka, Japan discusses the use of deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) technique to improve the image quality of thin-slice 2D MRI for the detection of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. The researchers compared the diagnostic value of 1 mm-slice-thickness 2D T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) with DLR to conventional MRI in 42 MS patients. They found that MRI with 1 mm T2WI with DLR enabled increased MS lesion detection, particularly in the brain stem. The study suggests that this technique could be used in routine clinical practice.
