Abstract:Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of hard biological tissues is very challenging due to small proton abundance and to ultra-short T2 decay times, especially at low magnetic fields where sample magnetization is weak. While several pulse sequences, such as Ultra-short Echo Time(UTE), Zero Echo Time (ZTE) and SWeep Imaging with Fourier Transformation (SWIFT), have been developed to cope with ultra-short lived MR signals, only the latter two hold promise of imaging tissues with sub-millisecond T2 times at low field… Show more
