Presented at RSNA 2022 The purpose of the study was to evaluate image quality, image resolution, and overall diagnostic sufficiency of low resolution brain MRI images processed by a novel deep learning (DL) resolution enhancement algorithm, compared to images acquired with higher resolution from multiple sites and MRI scanners. 

Presented by Alliar, Brazil at RSNA 2022 The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the adoption of a proprietary Artificial Intelligence Software that reduces scan time without compromising image quality is correlated with a decrease in the average scan time considering all imaging protocols (with and without the software), an increase in the numbe r o f possible scheduling slots for MRI scans

Collaborative work with Lawrence N. Tanenbaum MD FACR, RadNet PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the scan time shortening potential of iQMR, a novel 3D image enhancement algorithm, in brain, lumbar spine, and cervical spine MRI. iQMR provides image enhancement and increased Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), thus permitting substantial scan time reduction, without changing the imaging contrast, resolution, or scanner hardware or software.

MR image quality and subsequent brain morphometric analysis are inevitably affected by noise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based post-scan processing denoising system, intelligent Quick Magnetic Resonance (iQMR), on MR image quality and brain morphometric analysis.

Authors: R Shreter , J Brace , M Goldfeld , I Page , G Stenoien , L Mori , T Aharoni , L Lucato PURPOSE To assess scan time reduction in brain MRI scans by acquiring reduced-resolution faster protocols, post-processed by novel machine-learning (ML) assisted technology. Assessment was conducted by comparing quality, contrast, resolution, noise and diagnostic sufficiency of the images.

This report was conducted with Houston Medical Imaging’s (HMI) outpatient diagnostic centers. An increase in demand for MRI scans at HMI prompted a Productivity and Service Quality improvement project. The project aimed to optimize the performance of 7 MRI scanners across 6 sites in order to facilitate more scans and ultimately improve patient service. 49% SCAN-TIME REDUCTION | HITACHI OASIS 1.2T | Brain, AX T2 RADAR

The report compared complete brain exams that were acquired by the site’s routine scan (11 minutes 50 seconds) and by accelerated acquisition (5 minutes 50 seconds, 50% scan time reduction). Acquired images were processed and reviewed blindly by acknowledged neuroradiologists. The results demonstrate definite preference towards IIR-processed fast MR scans, for all evaluation characteristics including scan time reduction, and image quality.
