Conventional MT modeling can only be applied to long T₂tissues since short T₂ tissues such as cortical bone show little or no signal with clinical sequences. Ultrashort echo time magnetization transfer (UTE-MT) imaging is likely to help with this difficulty. In this study we aimed to develop and utilize UTE-MT imaging and compare two-pool with three-pool modeling of bovine cortical bone samples using a clinical 3T scanner.
