Association Between T2* Relaxation Times Derived From Ultrashort Echo Time MRI and Symptoms During Exercise Therapy for Patellar Tendinopathy: A Large Prospective Study. [PDF]
Exercise therapy is considered preferential treatment for patellar tendinopathy (PT). However, there is conflicting evidence for structural patellar tendon adaptation in response to exercise therapy and its association with symptoms is weak.

Performance of free-breathing contrast-enhanced and unenhanced stack-of-spirals ultrashort echo time MRI for lung follow-up in patients with malignancies at 1.5T. [PDF]
Background Stack-of-spirals ultrashort echo time (spiral-UTE) has been reported to be feasible for lung imaging; however, the performance of free-breathing contrast-enhanced and unenhanced spiral-UTE (UTEe and UTEu) is still unknown.
