Turbo spin echo imaging is accelerated with a novel combination of simultaneous multislice, multicoil compressed sensing and elongated echo times to reduce the scan time of routine knee examinations to 7 minutes. The accelerated protocol is validated against the conventional technique in a cohort of 10 patients based on the opinion of expert radiologists. Diagnostic accuracy was found to be similar despite the reduction in scan time. This might be useful to expand the utilization of MRI and to increase patient throughput.
