Zero echo time (ZTE) imaging allows visualizing short
T2-signal components at almost silent scan operation.
But due to flip angle limitations the signal is proton
density dominated and has poor image contrast. Thus,
magnetization preparation is an appropriate approach to
manipulate the contrast in ZTE (including: fat
suppression, T1-, T2-weighting). A comparison has been
made between ZTE, Ultra-short echo time imaging and
conventional Cartesian sampling showing similar contrast
options and flexibility among those with almost silent
operation for ZTE and the advantage of visualizing short
T2 components.
