Abstract

BACKGROUND: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides high-resolution, non-invasive diagnostic images, but long acquisition times increase patient burden and motion artefacts. Compressed sensing helps reduce scan duration, yet further image quality improvements remain necessary. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promise in enhancing image quality and accelerating MRI acqui…
