The MRI scanner near you is potentially using AI to increase image signal, then to increase pixel count 4x (well, 2x in X direction, 2x in Y direction. Potentially also generating a slice between each slice in 3D datasets).
If you turn off the AI and actually acquire the information, the scan is long, the patient moves and it is blurry. However if the patient is still, the non AI images look like the AI images.
Disagreeing with it is sort of moot now - it’s in the machines and is running. It works well, I’ve been using it daily for a few years.
All vendors have it - I use the Siemens product ‘Deep Resolve’ [1]. Their PR department undersells it, in my view this is a bigger change than the 1.5T to 3T transition.
