We evaluated the ability of depiction of deep fascia, epimysium and periosteum in 3 dimensional Ultrashort Echo Time MR Imaging (3D UTE) with histologic correlation in porcine model. In our study, the 3D UTE might depict deep fascia and periosteum as high signal intensities whereas the ability of visualization of epimysium was uncertain and high signal intensity of artifact remains in naked cortex without periosteum.
