Six-Fold Acceleration of High-Spatial Resolution 3D SPACE MRI of the Knee Through Incoherent k-Space Undersampling and Iterative Reconstruction—First Experience

Abstract

We demonstrate the successful clinical implementation of 3D TSE MRI with incoherent k-space undersampling and iterative reconstruction for 6-fold accelerated high spatial resolution isotropic 3D MRI data acquisition. Our preliminary assessments suggest similar image quality and diagnostic performance of a comprehensive 10-minute 3D TSE MRI prototype protocol and 20-minute TSE MRI standard protocol.
