The SPACE sequence based rapid MRCP protocol proposed in this study, which reduced acquisition time without deteriorating the image quality, yielded significantly higher overall image quality and better visualization of the pancreaticobiliary tree compared with the conventional MRCP. On the basis of our findings, we suggest that the rapid 3D SPACE technique could improve the clinical throughput of MRCP and show a trend toward wider clinical availability for MRCP studies.
