Clinical Validation of Deep Learning–Accelerated versus Wave-CAIPI Postcontrast 3D T1-MPRAGE for Evaluation of Intracranial Enhancing Lesions

Key Points

• To compare the image quality of deep learning-accelerated T1-MPRAGE with Wave-CAIPI T1-MPRAGE in evaluating intracranial enhancing lesions.
• Conducted a clinical validation study comparing DL-T1-MPRAGE and Wave-CAIPI T1-MPRAGE sequences.
• Evaluated image quality based on the visualization of enhancing lesions.
• Used postcontrast MRI scans to analyze performance of both methods.
• DL-T1-MPRAGE demonstrated noninferior image quality compared to Wave-CAIPI.
• Enhanced visualization of subtle intracranial enhancing lesions was achieved with DL-T1-MPRAGE.
