Motivation: Our motivation is to investigate a method to generate CT-like positive bone-contrast images using MR.
Goal(s): Our goal is to facilitate CT-like Volume Rendering of cortical bone using ZTE MR.
Approach: We added additional processing steps to clinical oZTEo bone images, such as DL chemical shift correction, background air signal removal and histogram adjustments.
Results: We show the feasibility of bone imaging using oZTEo with the potential to enhance the clinical utility of MSK MRI by making volume rendering easier/faster leading to VR renderings that more closely resemble the benchmark CT images.
Impact: Our work has the potential to become a one-stop-shop imaging approach with the ability to get co-registered bone and soft-tissue images in a single, radiation-free MR exam.
