Journal Article
Exploring the impact of super-resolution deep learning on MR angiography image quality
2024
Overview
Purpose
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of super-resolution deep learning-based reconstruction (SR-DLR), which uses k-space properties, on image quality of intracranial time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 3 T.
Methods
This retrospective study involved 35 patients who underwent intracranial TOF-MRA using a 3-T MRI system with SR-DLR based on k-space properties in October and November 2022. We reconstructed MRA with SR-DLR (matrix = 1008 × 1008) and MRA without SR-DLR (matrix = 336 × 336). We measured the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast, and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in the basilar artery (BA) and the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and the sharpness of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) using the slope of the signal intensity profile curve at the half-peak points. Two radiologists evaluated image noise, artifacts, contrast, sharpness, and overall image quality of the two image types using a 4-point scale. We compared quantitative and qualitative scores between images with and without SR-DLR using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results
The SNRs, contrasts, and CNRs were all significantly higher in images with SR-DLR than those without SR-DLR (
p
< 0.001). The slope was significantly greater in images with SR-DLR than those without SR-DLR (
p
< 0.001). The qualitative scores in MRAs with SR-DLR were all significantly higher than MRAs without SR-DLR (
p
< 0.001).
Conclusion
SR-DLR with k-space properties can offer the benefits of increased spatial resolution without the associated drawbacks of longer scan times and reduced SNR and CNR in intracranial MRA.
