We investigated the potential combination of 3D UTE with MAVRIC to image short T2 tissues surrounding orthopedic implants with reduced susceptibility artifacts. Phantom experiments were performed containing a stainless steel plate immersed in agarose gel and imaged at 3T. Our studies show that these two techniques may be combined to harvest their respective advantages.
