Résumé

Recent technological advancements have revolutionized routine brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences, offering enhanced diagnostic capabilities in intracranial disease evaluation. This review explores 2 pivotal breakthrough areas: deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and quantitative MRI techniques beyond conventional structural imaging. DLR using deep neural networks facilitates accelerated imaging with improved signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution, enhancing image quality with short scan times. DLR focuses on supervised learning applied to clinical implementation and applications. Quantitative MRI techniques, exemplified by 2D multidynamic multiecho, 3D quantification using interleaved Look-Locker acquisition sequences with T2 preparation pulses, and magnetic resonance fingerprinting, enable precise calculation of brain-tissue parameters and further advance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Potential DLR instabilities and quantification and bias limitations will be discussed. This review underscores the synergistic potential of DLR and quantitative MRI, offering prospects for improved brain imaging beyond conventional methods.
