Magnetic resonance imaging of nerves, also known as MR neurography (MRN) is an emerging technique used to assess peripheral neuropathies. 3D NerveVIEW is a heavily T2-weighted 3D acquisition that has been developed to address common challenges when scanning brachial and lumbosacral plexuses. However, 3D NerveVIEW suffers from long acquisition times. Therefore, in this study we acquired 3D NerveVIEW with compressed SENSE to accelerate scan times and assessed images for motion and pulsation artefacts, nerve signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, and nerve signal-to-fat signal ratio. 3D NerveVIEW with compressed SENSE leads to significant time savings without significant changes in image quality.
