BackgroundImaging of the lung by MRI is challenging due to the intrinsic low proton density and rapid T2* relaxation. MRI methods providing lung parenchyma and function are in demand.PurposeTo investigate the feasibility of two‐dimensional ultrashort echo‐time (2D UTE) imaging for lung function assessment.Study TypeProspective.PopulationEleven healthy ...

Ultrashort echo time magnetic resonance imaging of the osteochondral junction. [PDF]
AbstractOsteoarthritis is a common chronic degenerative disease that causes pain and disability with increasing incidence worldwide. The osteochondral junction is a dynamic region of the joint that is associated with the early development and progression of osteoarthritis.

Ultrashort echo time and zero echo time MRI at 7T [PDF]
Zero echo time (ZTE) and ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequences for MRI offer unique advantages of being able to detect signal from rapidly decaying short-T2 tissue components. In this paper, we applied 3D ZTE and UTE pulse sequences at 7T to assess differences between these methods.We matched the ZTE and UTE pulse sequences closely in terms of ...

Optimized 3D ultrashort echo time pulmonary MRI [PDF]
PurposeTo optimize 3D radial ultrashort echo time MRI for high resolution whole‐lung imaging.Methods3D radial ultrashort echo time was implemented on a 3T scanner to investigate the effects of: (1) limited field‐of‐view excitation, (2) variable density readouts, and (3) radial oversampling.

Ramped hybrid encoding for improved ultrashort echo time imaging [PDF]
PurposeWe propose a new acquisition to minimize the per‐excitation encoding duration and improve the imaging capability for short T2* species.MethodsIn the proposed ramped hybrid encoding (RHE) technique, gradients are applied before the radiofrequency (RF) pulse as in pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA) and zero echo time

Ultrashort echo time spectroscopic imaging (UTESI) of cortical bone [PDF]
AbstractCortical bone in the mature skeleton has a short T2* and produces no detectable signal with conventional MR sequences. A two‐dimensional ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequence employing half radio frequency (RF) pulse excitations and radial ramp sampling reduces the effective TE to 8 μs and is capable of detecting signals from cortical bone.
