Visualization of the Trochlear Nerve Using Deep Learning–enhanced 3D T2-weighted MR Imaging at 3T

Key Points

The aim is to improve visualization of the trochlear nerve using advanced imaging techniques.
Utilized T2-CUBE with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) at 3T magnet strength.
Compared visualizations from T2-CUBE with and without DLR and 3D-FIESTA.
Evaluated potential applications for other cranial nerves and neurovascular compression.
T2-CUBE with DLR significantly enhanced trochlear nerve visualization.
Results suggest potential use in evaluating neurovascular compression.
The technique may set a new standard for cisternal imaging.

Abstract

T2-CUBE with DLR at 3T provided a significantly better trochlear nerve visualization than T2-CUBE without DLR and 3D-FIESTA. This technique may extend beyond the trochlear nerve to other cranial nerves and to the evaluation of neurovascular compression in the cistern, with the potential to become the new standard for cisternal imaging.
