HAlf-fourier Single-shot Turbo spin Echo (HASTE) acquisition is widely used in fetal MR imaging due to its T2 contrast and motion robustness, but speed and T2-blurring remain a problem for fully sampled acquisitions. In the work, we describe a new reconstruction approach based on low-rank and subspace modeling of local k-space neighborhood to accelerate HASTE acquisition. The proposed approach decreases the echo-train length with improved image quality and noise robustness compared to conventional reconstruction. It is compatible with the vendor-provided acquisition. The effectiveness and utility of the proposed approach is evaluated with both retrospectively and prospectively undersampled fetal imaging data.
