Quantitative Ultrashort Echo Time (UTE) Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Bone: An Update
Bone possesses a highly complex hierarchical structure comprised of mineral (~45% by volume), organic matrix (~35%) and water (~20%). Water exists in bone in two forms: as bound water (BW), which is bound to bone mineral and organic matrix, or as pore ...

Coherent responses of resonance atom layer to short optical pulse excitation [PDF]
Coherent responses of resonance atom layer to short optical pulse excitation are numerically considered. The inhomogeneous broadening of one-photon transition, the local field effect, and the substrate dispersion are involved into analysis. For a certain

Short T2 contrast with three-dimensional ultrashort echo time imaging [PDF]
There is increasing interest in imaging short T2 species which show little or no signal with conventional magnetic resonance (MR) pulse sequences. In this paper, we describe the use of three-dimensional ultrashort echo time (3D UTE) sequences with TEs down to 8 μs for imaging of these species.

T2-based temperature monitoring in bone marrow for MR-guided focused ultrasound. [PDF]
BackgroundCurrent clinical protocols for MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment of osseous lesions, including painful bone metastases and osteoid osteomas, rely on measurement of the temperature change in adjacent muscle to estimate the ...

MR‐based PET attenuation correction using a combined ultrashort echo time/multi‐echo Dixon acquisition [PDF]
PurposeTo develop a magnetic resonance (MR)‐based method for estimation of continuous linear attenuation coefficients (LACs) in positron emission tomography (PET) using a physical compartmental model and ultrashort echo time (UTE)/multi‐echo Dixon (mUTE) acquisitions.MethodsWe propose a three‐dimensional (3D) mUTE sequence to acquire signals from water,

Outracing Lung Signal Decay – Potential of Ultrashort Echo Time MRI [PDF]
Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pulmonary parenchyma is generally hampered by multiple challenges related to patient respiratory- and circulation-related motion, low proton density and extremely fast signal decay due to the structure of the lungs evolved for gas exchange.

An Update in Qualitative Imaging of Bone Using Ultrashort Echo Time Magnetic Resonance
Bone is comprised of mineral, collagenous organic matrix, and water. X-ray-based techniques are the standard approach for bone evaluation in clinics, but they are unable to detect the organic matrix and water components in bone.
