Résumé
To evaluate the image quality of the 3D hybrid profile order technique and deep-learning-based reconstruction (DLR) for 3D magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) within a single breath-hold (BH) at 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This retrospective study included 32 patients with biliary and pancreatic disorders. BH images were reconstructed with and without DLR. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between the common bile duct (CBD) and periductal tissues, and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of CBD on 3D-MRCP were evaluated quantitatively. Two radiologists scored image noise, contrast, artifacts, blur, and overall image quality of the three image types using a 4-point scale. Quantitative and qualitative scores were compared using the Friedman test and post hoc Nemenyi test. The SNR and CNR were not significantly different when under respiratory gating- and BH-MRCP without DLR. However, they were significantly higher under BH with DLR than under respiratory gating (SNR, p = 0.013; CNR, p = 0.027). The contrast and FWHM of MRCP under BH with and without DLR were lower than those under respiratory gating (contrast, p < 0.001; FWHM, p = 0.015). Qualitative scores for noise, blur, and overall image quality were higher under BH with DLR than those under respiratory gating (blur, p = 0.003; overall, p = 0.008). The combination of the 3D hybrid profile order technique and DLR is useful for MRCP within a single BH and does not lead to the deterioration of image quality and space resolution at 3 T MRI. Considering its advantages, this sequence might become the standard protocol for MRCP in clinical practice, at least at 3.0 T. • The 3D hybrid profile order can achieve MRCP within a single breath-hold without a decrease in spatial resolution. • The DLR significantly improved the CNR and SNR of BH-MRCP. • The 3D hybrid profile order technique with DLR reduces the deterioration of image quality in MRCP within a single breath-hold.
