Abstract Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is increasingly used to non-invasively image blood-brain barrier leakage, yet its clinical utility has been hampered by issues such as noise and partial volume artifacts. In this retrospective study involving 306 adult patients with diffuse glioma, we applied deep learning-based super-resolution and denoising (DLSD) techniques to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and resolution of DCE-MRI. Quantitative analysis comparing standard DCE-MRI (std-DCE) and DL-enhanced DCE-MRI (DL-DCE) revealed that DL-DCE achieved significantly higher SNR and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) compared to std-DCE (SNR, 52.09 vs 27.21; CNR, 9.40 vs 4.71; P < 0.001 for all). Diagnostic performance assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) showed improved differentiation of WHO grades based on a pharmacokinetic parameter $$\hbox {V}_{{e}}$$ (AUC, 0.88 vs 0.83, P = 0.02), while remaining comparable to std-DCE in other parameters. Analysis of arterial input function (AIF) reliability demonstrated that $$\hbox {AIF}_{{DL}}$$ exhibited superior agreement compared to $$\hbox {AIF}_{{std}}$$ , as indicated by mostly higher intraclass correlation coefficients (Time to peak, 0.79 vs 0.43, P < 0.001). In conclusion, DLSD significantly enhances both the image quality and reliability of DCE-MRI in patients with diffuse glioma, while maintaining or improving diagnostic performance. |
