The use of three dimensional (3D) volumetric acquisition in clinical settings has been limited due to long scan time. However, 3D volumetric acquisition could provide higher spatial resolution and decrease partial volume effects. The introduction of compressed sensing in combination of the parallel imaging technique SENSE allows shortening of scan time and provide comparable overall image quality when compared with standard sequences. The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility of 3D PDWI accelerated with compressed SENSE(CS) for evaluating the pediatric joint image quality and compared with 2D PDWI.
