Fast high-quality MRI protocol of the lumbar spine with deep learning-based algorithm : an image quality and scanning time comparison with standard protocol
© 2023. The Author(s)..
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to prospectively compare quantitative and subjective image quality, scanning time, and diagnostic confidence between a new deep learning-based reconstruction(DLR) algorithm and standard MRI protocol of lumbar spine.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty healthy volunteers underwent 1.5T MRI examination of lumbar spine from September 2021 to May 2023. Protocol acquisition comprised sagittal T1- and T2-weighted fast spin echo and short-tau inversion recovery images and axial multislices T2-weighted fast spin echo images. All sequences were acquired with both DLR algorithm and standard protocols. Two radiologists, blinded to the reconstruction technique, performed quantitative and qualitative image quality analysis in consensus reading; diagnostic confidence was also assessed. Quantitative image quality analysis was assessed by calculating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Qualitative image quality analysis and diagnostic confidence were assessed with a five-point Likert scale. Scanning times were also compared.
RESULTS: DLR SNR was higher in all sequences (all p<0.001). CNR of the DLR was superior to conventional dataset only for axial and sagittal T2-weighted fast spin echo images (p<0.001). Qualitative analysis showed DLR had higher overall quality in all sequences (all p<0.001), with an inter-rater agreement of 0.83 (0.78-0.86). DLR total protocol scanning time was lower compared to standard protocol (6:26 vs 12:59 min, p<0.001). Diagnostic confidence for DLR algorithm was not inferior to standard protocol.
CONCLUSION: DLR applied to 1.5T MRI is a feasible method for lumbar spine imaging providing morphologic sequences with higher image quality and similar diagnostic confidence compared with standard protocol, enabling a remarkable time saving (up to 50%).
