Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging tool based on the
detection of protons into the tissues. This imaging technique is remarkable because of high …

Among current modalities of biomedical and diagnostic imaging, MRI stands out by virtue of
its versatile contrast obtained without ionizing radiation. However, in various cases, eg …

Zero echo-time (ZTE) MRI is a novel imaging technique that utilizes ultrafast readouts to
capture signal from short-T2 tissues. Additional sequence advantages include rapid imaging …

The aim of this work was to improve the SNR efficiency of zero echo time (ZTE) MRI pulse
sequences for faster imaging of short‐T2 components at large dead‐time gaps. ZTE MRI …

Purpose Direct assessment of myelin has the potential to reveal central nervous system
abnormalities and serve as a means to follow patients with demyelinating disorders during …

Purpose To introduce a novel MR pulse sequence, termed Loo** Star, for fast, robust, and
yet quiet, 3D radial multi‐gradient echo T2* MR imaging. Methods The Loo** Star pulse …

Purpose To develop and evaluate an integrated imaging protocol for bone water and
phosphorus quantification in vivo by solid-state 1H and 31P MRI. Materials and methods All …

Purpose Zero echo time (ZTE) imaging is a fast, robust, and silent three‐dimensional
technique for direct MRI of tissues with rapid transverse relaxation. It is conventionally …

Purpose We propose a new acquisition to minimize the per‐excitation encoding duration
and improve the imaging capability for short T2* species. Methods In the proposed ramped …

Background Myelin alteration is closely associated with neurological diseases such as
multiple sclerosis (MS). Unfortunately, due to myelin's extremely short T2*(~ 0.3 ms or …
