Presentation: Evaluation of Deep Learning Reconstruction in MSK pathologies
The Deep Learning Reconstruction technique AiCE is put to the test to evaluate structure, profiles, signal, and evidence of pathology in a clinical protocol. In addition, the presence of artifacts will be evaluated. You will see how the increased quality of the images increase the confidence in diagnosis of pathology in various anatomies like meniscus, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone.
