Integrated Deep Learning-Based Intracranial Vessel Wall Imaging with DANTE Preparation: Feasibility and Technical Performance

Key Points

Assess the feasibility and technical performance of combining DANTE preparation with deep learning in intracranial vessel wall imaging.
Utilized deep learning techniques for accelerated intracranial vessel wall imaging (IC-VWI)
Incorporated DANTE preparation to reduce flow-related artifacts
Evaluated performance based on clarity of vessel lumen depiction
Fewer flow-related artifacts observed with DANTE preparation
Clearer depiction of the vessel lumen achieved
Modest penalty in wall visualization noted, expected with flow-suppression pulse

Abstract

Adding DANTE preparation to deep-learning accelerated IC-VWI was associated with fewer flow-related artifacts and a clearer depiction of the vessel lumen, which may support a more accurate assessment of intracranial vasculopathies and aneurysms. Potential gains were accompanied by a modest wall-visualization penalty, which is not unexpected with a flow-suppression pulse.
