AI algorithm enables accelerated, higher-quality spine MRI

Researchers led by presenter Dr. Lawrence Tanenbaum of imaging services provider RadNet compared the performance of a commercial deep-learning algorithm with traditional methods for accelerating spine MRI in clinical practice. In a study involving 26 patients, two neuroradiologists overwhelmingly preferred the image quality of the AI-reconstructed images to those acquired by standard-of-care methods that required much longer scanning time.

“Deep-learning reconstruction provides gains in efficiency and improvement in the patient experience, portending the utility in routine clinical…
