The first 3D-UTE sequence used FID acquisition techniques using ramp sampling to minimize TE, but defining the center of k-space precisely was a difficult problem (true-k0). In case of echo acquisition containing echo peaks, it is better to define true-k0 than FID acquisition although true-k0 problem still exists because echo peaks often do not agree with true-k0 due to the echo shifts caused by system imperfections such as gradient delays and eddy currents. Here, we propose an asymmetric-echo-based 3D-UTE (ASE-UTE) sequence where echo peaks are acquired on the ramp.
