Abstract:Zero echo time (ZTE) sequences capture signal from tissues with extremely short T2* and are useful for qualitative and quantitative imaging of musculoskeletal tissues’ ultrashort-T2* components. One such sequence is Pointwise Encoding Time Reduction with Radial Acquisition (PETRA). While this sequence has shown promising results, it has undergone only limited testing at 7 tesla (T). The purpose of this work was to evaluate PETRA at 7T in its standard form and with sequence modifications to allow extended echo … Show more
