Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning (DL)-based image enhancement is widely used to improve suboptimal medical imaging. Whether it also benefits diagnostic-quality MRI in downstream task performance and data-efficiency remains unclear. PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of DL-based enhancement applied to diagnostic quality structural MRI for Alzheimer's disease (AD) classification. STUDY TYPE: Retrospectiv…
