Quantitative assessment of graft maturation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon: Insights from ultra short echo time T2∗ mapping [PDF]
Background: Recently, the quadriceps tendon (QT) has gained attention as a graft material for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, no study has yet evaluated the maturation process of the reconstructed ACL using QT grafts.

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 ...

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.
