High-Resolution Single-Shot Fast Spin-Echo MR Imaging with Deep Learning Reconstruction Algorithm Can Improve Repeatability and Reproducibility of Follicle Counting
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic performance of high-resolution single-shot fast spin-echo (SSFSE) imaging with deep learning (DL) reconstruction algorithm on follicle counting and compare it with original SSFSE images and conventional fast spin-echo (FSE) images. Methods: This study include...

description | Objective: To investigate the diagnostic performance of high-resolution single-shot fast spin-echo (SSFSE) imaging with deep learning (DL) reconstruction algorithm on follicle counting and compare it with original SSFSE images and conventional fast spin-echo (FSE) images. Methods: This study included 20 participants (40 ovaries) with clinically confirmed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who underwent high-resolution ovary MRI, including three-plane T2-weighted FSE sequences and slice-matched T2-weighted SSFSE sequences. A DL reconstruction algorithm was applied to the SSFSE sequences to generate SSFSE-DL images, and the original SSFSE images were also saved. Subjective evaluations such as the blurring artifacts, subjective noise, and clarity of the follicles on the SSFSE-DL, SSFSE, and conventional FSE images were independently conducted by two observers. Intra-class correlation coefficients and Bland–Altman plots were used to present the repeatability and reproducibility of the follicle number per ovary (FNPO) based on the three types of images. Results: SSFSE-DL images showed less blurring artifact, subjective noise, and better clarity of the follicles than SSFSE and FSE (p < 0.05). For the repeatability of the FNPO, SSFSE-DL showed the highest intra-observer (ICC = 0.930; 95% CI: 0.878–0.962) and inter-observer (ICC = 0.914; 95% CI: 0.843–0.953) agreements. The inter-observer 95% limits of agreement (LOA) for SSFSE-DL, SSFSE, and FSE ranged from −3.7 to 4.5, −4.4 to 7.0, and −7.1 to 7.6, respectively. The intra-observer 95% LOA for SSFSE-DL, SSFSE, and FSE ranged from −3.5 to 4.0, −5.1 to 6.1, and −5.7 to 4.2, respectively. The absolute values of intra-observer and inter-observer differences for SSFSE-DL were significantly lower than those for SSFSE and FSE (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Compared with the original SSFSE images and the conventional FSE images, high-resolution SSFSE images with DL reconstruction algorithm can better display follicles, thus improving FNPO assessment. |
