In theory a ZTE or Zero Echo Time could visualise and benefit MRI imaging of any joint. It can be used in a wide spectrum of developmental, traumatic, inflammatory, rheumatologic and oncologic conditions. It may remove the need for CT with detailed depiction of bone anatomy. It opens the doors for more MRI based research into many musculoskeletal conditions and morphometric analysis. One MRI examination with a ZTE sequence allows cross referencing of sequences aiding diagnosis, prognostication and surgical guidance in soft tissue and bone with precise measurements that involve bony landmarks.
