RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of compressed SENSE (CS) in clinical settings on scan time reduction and image quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-five magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from different anatomical regions were acquired, consisting of a standard protocol sequence (SS) and sequence accelerated with CS. Anonymized paired sequences were randomly displayed and rated by six blinded subspecialty radiologists. Side-by-side evaluation on perceived sharpness, perceived signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR), lesion conspicuity, and artifacts were compared and scored on a five-point Likert scale, and individual image quality was evaluated on a four-point Likert scale...
