Clinical utility of fat-suppressed 3-dimensional controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration sampling perfection with application optimized contrast using different flip angle evolutions MRI of the knee in adults.

CONCLUSION: The fat-suppressed 3D CAIPIRINHA SPACE MRI maybe useful in clinical practice for the evaluation of the knee in place of the 2D conventional MRI protocol. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: 1. The 3D CAIPIRINHA SPACE MRI of the knee joint may be acceptable to be used in clinical practice showing comparable imaging quality compared to conventional 2D TSE MRI.2. Compared with arthroscopic findings as the gold standard, the diagnostic performance of 3D CAIPIRINHA SPACE MRI was equal or better for knee jointevaluation than that of 2D TSE MRI, as well as with shorter scan time.
