title: Rapid musculoskeletal MRI with phase-sensitive steady-state free precession: comparison with routine knee MRI.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this work was to show the potential utility of a novel rapid 3D fat-suppressed MRI method for joint imaging.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Phase-sensitive steady-state free precession provides rapid 3D joint imaging with robust fat suppression and excellent cartilage delineation.
