Overview
By enrolling patients who underwent ankle MR(Magnetic Resonance) examinations at our center and using randomized allocation, the patients were divided into a study group and a control group. The study group underwent scanning using AI-based(Artificial Intelligence-based) ankle MRI sequences, while the control group was scanned using non-AI ankle MRI sequences.
Primary outcome measures
- Patient satisfaction [Time frame: immediately after procedure]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- objective image measurements (signal-to-noise ratio) [Time frame: one week]
- total scan time [Time frame: During procedure]
Eligibility criteria
