Synopsis

Keywords: Pulse Sequence Design, Lung, UTE, Heart Failure, CartesianThe Cartesian UTE (CUTE) sequence provides high quality three-dimensional imaging of the lung parenchyma (TE = 140 us) without the requirement for k-space gridding in a short breath-hold. Phantom validation and comparison to an existing UTE sequence (Spiral VIBE) is provided in 64 healthy subjects and in clinical examples.
