DESCRIPTION:MRI can provide superior soft tissue contrast with rich informa
 tion and doesn’t involve exposure\nto ionizing radiation. Therefore\, it
  is the method of choice for many imaging applications.\nHowever\, tissues
  with short transverse relaxation times (T2/T2*) such as cortical bone and
  lung\nparenchyma are often invisible in conventional MR images. Ultra-sho
 rt TE(UTE) MRI enables\nus to capture the rapidly decaying signals from th
 e tissues otherwise invisible and hence has\nsignificantly broadened the a
 pplications of MRI. In this presentation\, we will talk about the basic\nc
 oncepts of UTE MRI\, current UTE MRI techniques and some of their applicat
 ions.\n\nCo-sponsored by: UCCS\n\nSpeaker(s): Aiming Lu\, \n\nRoom: A204\,
