Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging ultrashort echo-time cones for assessing lung density in pediatric patients

ConclusionSignal intensity of lung on ultrashort echo-time is higher than that on fast spin-echo sequences, is age-dependent and shows a gravity-dependent anterior to posterior gradient. This signal variation appears similar to lung density described on CT.
