Weighted subtraction in 3D ultrashort echo time (UTE) imaging for visualization of short T2 tissues of the knee.

CONCLUSION: The 3D UTE MRI provides imaging of short T2 tissues which cannot be visualized by conventional MRI. Using weighted subtractions with optimal weighting values, each tissue can be optimally depicted by overcoming the reduced T2 contrast. PMID: 23934936 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
