[Abstract] Objective To explore the clinical value of fast intelligent quick magnetic resonance (IQMR) in cervical MRI.Materials and Methods In this study, 50 patients with suspected cervical spondylosis were collected retrospectively and included in T2-weighted (T2WI) conventional, IQMR original, and IQMR reconstructed images. ANOVA test was used to compare the differences among the objective scores of the three groups of images signal strength (SI), average background standard deviation (SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Multiple rank sum (Kruskal-WallisH) test was used to evaluate the subjective scores. The focus detection and scanning time differences among the three groups were compared.Results The average scanning time of IQMR sagittal T2WI sequence was about 1 min 17 s, about 57% shorter than conventional scanning. Compared with the original image, the SDbackground of the image reconstructed by IQMR decreased by 21%, and CNR increased by 28%. Compared with the conventional image, the SD of the image reconstructed by IQMR decreased by 43%, and the CNR increased by 68%. There was no statistical difference in SIspinal cord among the three groups of images. There were significant differences in cerebrospinal fluid signals among the three groups. The cerebrospinal fluid signals of conventional images were lower than those of IQMR original images and IQMR reconstruction images.Conclusions IQMR technology can reduce noise, and improve SNR and CNR in cervical MRI, thus improving image quality. In the case of ensuring image quality, it has the potential to reduce scanning time and improve the efficiency of clinical MR cervical spine scanning.
