The use of volumetric acquisitions for musculoskeletal MR in clinical settings has been limited due to blurring artifacts from T2 decay. T2 Shuffling (T2Sh), a redesigned 3D fast spin-echo technique that mitigates blurring, has been successfully applied to pediatric knee MRI in a clinical setting and used to streamline the pediatric knee exam. This work assesses a shortened T2Sh scan for pediatric ankle MRI with total scan time under 5 minutes. Our results show that T2Sh has the potential to provide a comprehensive diagnostic protocol in place of the conventional long 2D exam.
