High-spatial-resolution isotropic 3D MRI can eliminate partial volume effects and enable multi-planar and curved reconstructions, as well as interactive 3D interpretation. In the shoulder, however, 3D MRI requires time-consuming oversampling steps in phase and slice encoding directions, which can result in clinically impractical acquisition times. K-space undersampling and iterative reconstruction is a method that can yield substantial acceleration of 3D data acquisition. We show the implementation of this method into a comprehensive, 11 min clinical 3D SPACE protocol that can produce similar image qualities as a 21 min standard 2D TSE protocol.
