We report on using an inversion recovery prepared ultrashort TE sequence to directly image the ultrashort T2 components of white matter in MS. The IR-UTE sequence shows high contrast between normal and abnormal white matter. It also shows gray matter lesions and high signal from deep gray matter nuclei. This may be a result of iron deposition.
