Fig. 3.
Image examples of a standard and deep-learning-reconstructed PD TSE imaging of the knee at 3 T and 1.5 T. The upper-row images are examples of knee MRI at 3 T in coronal orientation of an 18-year-old professional athlete with pain in the area of the patella of both knees. After a break from training, the complaints had improved. The lower-row images are examples of knee MRI at 1.5 T in coronal orientation (lower row, PD TSES left and PD TSEDL right) of a 30-year-old patient after knee distortion. Comparing PD TSES (left) and PD TSEDL (right), in PD TSEDL, the difference in the extents of noise at 3 T (upper row) is less present than in images acquired at 1.5 T (lower row). Unfortunately, TSEDL images at 1.5 (lower row, right) show characteristic banding artifacts (white arrowheads), known as streaking, which are not present in TSES
