Visualizing the rapidly-vanishing signal using ultra-short echo time MRI: techniques and applications
MRI can provide superior soft tissue contrast with rich information and doesn’t involve exposure
to ionizing radiation. Therefore, it is the method of choice for many imaging applications.
However, tissues with short transverse relaxation times (T2/T2*) such as cortical bone and lung
parenchyma are often invisible in conventional MR images. Ultra-short TE(UTE) MRI enables
us to capture the rapidly decaying signals from the tissues otherwise invisible and hence has
significantly broadened the applications of MRI. In this presentation, we will talk about the basic
concepts of UTE MRI, current UTE MRI techniques and some of their applications.
