BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
3D MR neurography is a useful diagnostic tool in head and neck disorders, but neurographic imaging remains challenging in this region. Optimal sequences for nerve visualization have not yet been established and may also differ between nerves. While deep learning (DL) reconstruction can enhance nerve depiction, particularly at 1.5T, studies in the head and neck are lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare double echo steady-state (DESS) and postcontrast STIR seque…
