Abstract Objectives To reveal the utility of motion artifact reduction with convolutional neural network (MARC) in gadoxetate disodium–enhanced multi-arterial phase MRI of the liver. Methods This retrospective study included 192 patients (131 men, 68.7 ± 10.3 years) receiving gadoxetate disodium–enhanced liver MRI in 2017. Datasets were submitted to a newly developed filter (MARC), consisting of 7 convolutional layers, and trained on 14,190 cropped images generated from abdominal MR images. Motion artifact for training was simulated by adding periodic k-space domain noise to the images. Original and filtered images of pre-contrast and 6 arterial phases (7 image sets per patient resulting in 1344 sets in total) were evaluated regarding motion artifacts on a 4-point scale. Lesion conspicuity in original and filtered images was ranked by side-by-side comparison. Results Of the 1344 original image sets, motion artifact score was 2 in 597, 3 in 165, and 4 in 54 sets. MARC significantly improved image quality over all phases showing an average motion artifact score of 1.97 ± 0.72 compared to 2.53 ± 0.71 in original MR images (p < 0.001). MARC improved motion scores from 2 to 1 in 177/596 (29.65%), from 3 to 2 in 119/165 (72.12%), and from 4 to 3 in 34/54 sets (62.96%). Lesion conspicuity was significantly improved (p < 0.001) without removing anatomical details. Conclusions Motion artifacts and lesion conspicuity of gadoxetate disodium–enhanced arterial phase liver MRI were significantly improved by the MARC filter, especially in cases with substantial artifacts. This method can be of high clinical value in subjects with failing breath-hold in the scan. Key Points • This study presents a newly developed deep learning–based filter for artifact reduction using convolutional neural network (motion artifact reduction with convolutional neural network, MARC). • MARC significantly improved MR image quality after gadoxetate disodium administration by reducing motion artifacts, especially in cases with severely degraded images. • Postprocessing with MARC led to better lesion conspicuity without removing anatomical details.

Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) can be used for diagnosing the pathologies of vascular system including systemic vascular disease, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, valvular disease and congenital heart disease. Previous studies have provided some image enhancement algorithms for DSA images. However, these studies are not suitable for automated processes in huge amounts of data. Furthermore, few algorithms solved the problems of image contrast corruption after artifact removal. In this paper, we propose a fully automatic method for cerebrovascular DSA sequence images artifact removal based on rigid registration and guided filter. The guided filtering method is applied to fuse the original DSA image and registered DSA image, the results of which preserve clear vessel boundary from the original DSA image and remove the artifacts by the registered procedure. The experimental evaluation with 40 DSA sequence images shows that the proposed method increases the contrast index by 24.1% for improving the quality of DSA images compared with other image enhancement methods, and can be implemented as a fully automatic procedure.
