Effects of MRI Acceleration: Comparison with the Current NYU Standard

Brief description of study

Magnetic resonance imaging can be acquired in different fashions. In recent times, a premium has been put on acceleration for various reasons, including patient comfort, decreasing motion, and increasing accessibility and availability. While the accelerated acquisition of MR images decreases acquisition time, there are effects on spatial and contrast resolution, which can influence image quality and ultimately diagnostic performance. NYU currently employs a low degree of MRI acceleration as our standard of care. However, multiple publications suggest that higher acceleration factors are possible without loss of diagnostic information but shorter MRI exams. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of faster image acceleration on image quality and diagnostic performance.
