While 2D TSE MRI is standard in musculoskeletal MRI,
similar performance was shown for 3D TSE-type sequences
(SPACE) before; however, long acquisition times may
limit its clinical use. In contrast to one-dimensional
acceleration, a 2x2 CAIPIRINHA pattern can yield
substantial acceleration of 3D data acquisition. We
demonstrate the implementation of a 4-fold CAIPIRINHA
acceleration pattern into a 3D SPACE sequence with a
resultant 50-60% decrease of the acquisition time when
compared to a standard 2-fold accelerated SPACE. A 5-min
CAIPIRINHA SPACE sequence can produce near identical
image quality in the knee as 11-min SPACE and 10-min
three plane 2D TSE sequences.
