Recent advances in highly accelerated 3D MRI

Abstract Three-dimensional MRI has gained increasing popularity in various clinical applications due to its improved through-plane spatial resolution, which enhances the detection of subtle abnormalities and provides valuable clinical information. However, the long data acquisition time and high computational cost pose significant challenges for 3D MRI. In this comprehensive review article, we aim to summarize the latest advancements in accelerated 3D MR techniques. Covering over 200 remarkable research studies conducted over the past 20 years, we explore the development of MR signal excitation and encoding, advancements in reconstruction algorithms, and potential clinical applications. We hope that this survey serves as a valuable resource, providing insights into the current state of the field and serving as a guide for future research in accelerated 3D MRI.
