	abstract = {Recent work on three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) of conventional two-dimensional (2D) turbo spin-echo (TSE) knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows that high-resolution isotropic knee MRI is technically feasible. Yet the use of acceleration techniques and contrast optimization are needed for clinical validation of this 3D method. With the advent of deep learning (DL) image reconstruction techniques, high acceleration of SRR input data is now achievable through extended use of simultaneous multislice and parallel imaging methods. Moreover, the combination of accelerated TSE with the Dixon method allows us to acquire fat-suppressed and non-fat-suppressed data within a single acquisition that further accelerates the dual-contrast SRR protocol.

This study evaluated the technical feasibility of 3D SRR MRI based on DL-enhanced highly accelerated 2D Dixon TSE MRI. It also compared image quality and diagnostic confidence of this dual-contrast 3D technique to (accelerated) conventional 2D TSE knee MRI. We hypothesized that the SRR method provides the required contrasts needed for comprehensive knee joint evaluation in a competitive acquisition time.},

	abstract = {T2* mapping using ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI allows for quantitative evaluation of collagen-rich knee structures with short mean transverse relaxation times. However, acquisitions with low through-plane resolution are commonly used to obtain T2* maps within reasonable scan times, affecting the accuracy of the estimations because of partial volume effects. In this work, model-based super-resolution reconstructions based on UTE Spiral VIBE MRI were performed to obtain high-resolution T2* maps of knee structures within a reasonable scan time. The obtained T2* maps are comparable to maps generated with direct 3D UTE Spiral VIBE acquisitions while requiring approximately 25\% less scan time.},
