Low field slice-selective ZTE imaging of ultra-short $$T_2$$ T 2 tissues based on spin-locking

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging of hard biological tissues is very challenging due to small proton abundance and ultra-short $$T_2$$ T 2 decay times, especially at low magnetic fields, where sample magnetization is weak. While several pulse sequences, such as Ultra-short Echo Time (UTE), Zero Ec...
