OBJECTIVE: Scanning time considerations have restricted routine use of 3D Fourier transform (3DFT)-encoded MRI to gradient-recalled echo sequences. We sought to combine isotropic 3DFT acquisition with fast spin-echo at a practical scan duration. This strategy offers versatile image contrast for musculoskeletal evaluation and facilitates image reformation tailored to the depiction of small anatomic features. CONCLUSION: Isotropic 3DFT fast spin-echo is feasible on current MRI scanners and has the potential to improve musculoskeletal evaluation.
