MR Protocol Optimization With Deep Learning: A Proof of Concept

This study was performed to demonstrate that a properly trained convolutional neural net (CNN) can provide an acceptable surrogate for human readers when performing a protocol optimization study. Tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) were used as a proof of concept for this study. Following institutional review board approval, a curated set of 2007 paired knee MR images was extracted from the author’s picture archival and communications...
