ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To investigate the visibility of the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) in time-of-flight (TOF)-MR angiography (MRA) using compressed sensing (CS)-based deep learning (DL) image reconstruction by comparing its image quality with that obtained by the conventional CS algorithm.

METHODS:

Five healthy volunteers were included. High-resolution TOF-MRA images with the reduction (R)-factor of 1 were acquired as full-sampling data. Images with R-factors of 2, 4, and 6 were then reconstructed using CS-DL and conventional CS (the combination of CS and sensitivity conceding; CS-SENSE) reconstruction, respectively. In the quantitative assessment, the number of visible LSAs (identified by two radiologists), length of each depicted LSA (evaluated by one radiological technologist), and normalized mean squared error (NMSE) value were assessed. In the qualitative assessment, the overall image quality and the visibility of the peripheral LSA were visually evaluated by two radiologists.

RESULTS:

In the quantitative assessment of the DL-CS images, the number of visible LSAs was significantly higher than those obtained with CS-SENSE in the R-factors of 4 and 6 (Reader 1) and in the R-factor of 6 (Reader 2). The length of the depicted LSAs in the DL-CS images was significantly longer in the R-factor 6 compared to the CS-SENSE result. The NMSE value in CS-DL was significantly lower than in CS-SENSE for R-factors of 4 and 6. In the qualitative assessment of DL-CS images, the overall image quality was significantly higher than that obtained with CS-SENSE in the R-factors 4 and 6 (Reader 1) and in the R-factor 4 (Reader 2). The visibility of the peripheral LSA was significantly higher than that shown by CS-SENSE in all R-factors (Reader 1) and in the R-factors 2 and 4 (Reader 2).

CONCLUSION:

CS-DL reconstruction demonstrated preserved image quality for the depiction of LSAs compared to the conventional CS-SENSE when the R-factor is elevated.
