Background

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging modality that provides high soft-tissue contrast and resolution of the body structures without ionized radiation. However, conventional MRI sequences are less successful than Computed Tomography (CT) in depicting the bone cortex and calcified structures. Zero echo-time (ZTE) sequence is the newest magnetic resonance imaging technique that uses ultra-fast readouts to capture signals from ultrashort-T2 tissues and aims to image cortical bone and calcific structures. Besides providing “CT-like” images, ZTE-MRI has additional benefits such as fast scan time, silent scanning, and artifact resistance. In this poster, we'd like to explain all aspects of the Zero-Echo-Time sequence and evaluate the clinical feasibility.
