Accelerated deep learning reconstruction halves knee MRI acquisition time with equivalent diagnostic quality

Accelerated deep learning reconstruction knee MRI cut acquisition time by 49.81% (6 min 42 sec less per patient) with equivalent diagnosis, image quality, and artifacts versus conventional sequences in knee pain patients.

• Two musculoskeletal radiologists independently rated 86 knee MRI exams; no significant differences in overall diagnosis, image quality, or artifacts between conventional (13 min 27 sec) and accelerated DLR (6 min 45 sec) acquisitions.
• Prospective study on a 1.5T system enrolled 50 consecutive patients with knee pain, using paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
