Abstract
We compared 3 Tesla (3T) compressed sensing (CS)-MRI of different pulse sequences with various acceleration factors to standard fast spin-echo (FSE) sequences in terms of time, quality, and inter-reader agreement. Each sequence was qualitatively ranked and then qualitatively scored for blurring, artifact, low contrast detection, noise pattern, signal-to-noise ratio, and overall quality. The CS-MRI sequences demonstrated very good overall quality compared with routine FSE sequences with overall good inter-reader agreement.
