Signal from short T2 components cannot be detected with
conventional MR pulse sequences. Ultrashort echo time
MRI makes echo times in the range of 0.01-0.5 ms
possible. Here, we introduce a MRI protocol for time
resolved 3D UTE Cine Imaging. The sequence involves a
retrospectively triggered 3D radial UTE MRI acquisition
and compressed sensing reconstruction. 3D time resolved
movies with isotropic spatial resolution of 250 m and 8
frames per cardiac cycle were achieved in 25 minutes. By
incorporating flow encoding gradients, flow velocity
could be estimated using phase contrast MRI with a very
short TE of 0.68 ms.
