While high spatial resolution, isotropic 3D MRI of knee can achieve similar diagnostic performance than standard 2D MRI, the acquisition of 3D data can be time-consuming and may conflict with its practicability. K-space undersampling and iterative reconstruction is a method that can yield substantial acceleration of 3D data acquisition. In this study, we show how the implementation of k-space undersampling and iterative reconstruction into a SPACE pulse sequence prototype enables accelerated, comprehensive, high-spatial-resolution 3D MRI of the knee in under 10 min with image qualities that rivals standard 2D TSE images and potential to replace a more time-consuming 20 min standard 2D TSE MRI protocol.
