Zero echo time (ZTE) imaging enables direct MRI of
tissues with rapid relaxation, such as e.g. bone,
tendons, or ligaments. Yet the feature of detecting
signals from a wide T2 range is accompanied by a lack of
contrast between the corresponding tissues. Therefore,
in this work, efficient long-T2 suppression is developed
for the ZTE technique. In this way, selective, direct
musculoskeletal MRI akin to CT contrast is enabled and
demonstrated in a tissue sample.
