Magnetic resonance imaging of cortical bone with ultrashort TE pulse sequences.
PURPOSE: Normal adult cortical bone has a very short T(2) and characteristically produces no signal with pulse sequence echo times (TEs) routinely used in clinical practice. We wished to determine whether it was possible to use ultrashort TE (UTE) pulse sequences to detect signal from cortical bone...
