In this study, we explored the feasibility of applying single-point Dixon (spDixon)-based fat suppression to a novel ultrashort echo time-based double echo steady state (UTE-DESS) sequence for highly efficient morphological musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging. Compared to the two-point Dixon-based approach used with conventional UTE-DESS MSK imaging which requires two echoes for fat-water separation, we demonstrated a new technique which requires only a single image in, removing the need for additional data acquisitions. The feasibility and efficacy of our approach were demonstrated in human knee joints.
