Purpose: To evaluate a fat-saturated moderately T2w-3D-TSE-sequence(SPACE) for high-resolution isotropic knee-MRI at 3T. Materials and Methods: For technical and anatomical detail assessment sagittally oriented SPACE-datasets (TR 1200ms/TE 30ms/0.53mm3) and standard 2D-TSE-sequences in three planes (TR 3200ms/TE 30ms/0.4×0.4×3mm) were acquired from the dominant knee of 10 healthy volunteers on a 3T-scanner. 0.5, 1 and 2mm thick multiplanar SPACE-reconstructions (MPR) were performed in the three major anatomic planes. For lesion detection assessment, 60 patients with cartilage and meniscus pathologies (18 with ar…
