Rationale And Objective: A single-shot T2-weighted deep-learning-based image reconstruction (DL-HASTE) has been recently developed allowing for shorter acquisition time than conventional half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo-spin echo (HASTE). The purpose of this study was to compare image quality of conventional 6 mm HASTE with DL-HASTE at 4 mm and 6 mm slice thickness.

Materials And Methods: 91 patients (51 female; mean±SD age: 44±10years) who underwent 3T MR enterography from 5/15/2023-7/15/2023 including pelvic conventional HASTE and DL-HASTE were included.
