Zero echo time (ZTE) imaging enables efficient 3D MRI of
tissues with rapid relaxation, such as e.g. the lung.
However, signal is also detected from nearby hardware
parts, e.g. the RF coil, which can lead to substantial
image background. Here, a subtraction method is proposed
to reduce this background to a negligible level. The
technique is applied to pulmonary MRI in the mouse,
providing reproducible results of high quality.
