Bone Tissue in Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Contribution of New Zero Echo Time Sequences

Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2023; 27: 411-420 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1770771The introduction of new ultrashort and zero echo time (ZTE) sequences is revolutionizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optimizing patient management. These sequences acquire signals in tissues with very short T2: mineralized bone, cortical bone, and calcium deposits. They can be added to a classic MRI protocol. ZTE MRI provides computed tomography–like contrast for bone.
