PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of compressed sensing (CS) with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) for improving spatial resolution, image quality and focal liver lesion detection on high-resolution contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (HR-CE-T1WI) obtained by CS with DLR as compared with conventional CE-T1WI with parallel imaging (PI). METHODS: Seventy-seven participants with focal liver lesions underwent conventional CE-T1WI with PI and HR-CE-T1WI, surgical resection, transarterial chemoembolization, and radiofrequency ablation, followed by histopathological or >2-year follow-up examinations in our hospital...
