In this work, a self-calibrating wave-encoded 3D FSE technique was proposed with self-refocusing gradient waveforms and autocalibrated estimation of wave-encoding point-spread-function and coil sensitivity maps. Compared to conventional Cartesian approach at the same acceleration factor, the proposed method achieves reduced artifacts and better anatomical delineation for highly undersampled abdominal imaging. It enables 10-fold acceleration for 3D FSE scans of the abdomen, allowing 3D FSE sequences to be less sensitive to subject motion.
