Imaging of the intricate arrangement of small structures in the wrist benefits from high resolution imaging, which the increased SNR at 7 Tesla can enable. However, the increased resolution requires longer scan times, decreasing patient comfort and increasing risk of motion artifacts. In this work, we evaluated compressed sensing (CS) acceleration of a clinical wrist 7T MRI protocol, 0.45mm isotropic resolution, in comparison to SENSE-acceleration. We show that CS-acceleration can produce adequate to good image quality in significantly shorter scan times, not achievable by increasing SENSE-acceleration.
