Ultrafast MRI using deep learning echoplanar imaging for a comprehensive assessment of acute ischemic stroke.

Objectives: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is an emergency requiring both fast and informative MR sequences. We aimed to assess the performance of an artificial intelligence-enhanced ultrafast (UF) protocol, compared to the reference protocol, in the AIS management.

Methods: We included patients admitted in the emergency department for suspected AIS.
