          While the quality of under-sampled MRI reconstructions 
						is commonly evaluated based on quantitative metrics, 
						such as the error with respect to the fully-sampled 
						reference, such quantitative measures do not necessarily 
						correlated with the subjective quality as perceived by 
						radiologists and other expert end users. Therefore, 
						unless accompanied by subjective measurements, 
						quantitative quality metrics will be of limited clinical 
						impact. This abstract presents the results of our 
						experiments aimed towards subjective quality assessment 
						of under-sampled MRI reconstructions for specific 
						clinical applications. Particularly, it is shown that 
						the advantages of different reconstructions greatly 
						depend on the underlying clinical application.
