3D turbo spin echo sequences (e.g. SPACE) suffer from long acquisition times and are therefore prone to motion artifacts. Two features are introduced into SPACE imaging: a) integrated motion detection, which judges whether a patients movement is tolerable or not, and stops the acquisition immediately when unacceptable motion is detected; b) a dedicated sampling strategy, which optimizes the image quality in cases that an acquisition is interrupted. Comprehensive in vivo experiments have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the method.
