Figure 1

2D UTE pulse sequence with soft-tissue suppression. In dual-echo UTE two identical half-radial projections differing in echo time are acquired after each half-pulse excitation. The dashed box indicates the magnetization-preparation portion of long-T2 suppression, in which a dual-band pulse (dual-band UTE) or adiabatic inversion pulse (IR-UTE) followed by a spoiler gradient is applied before standard UTE acquisition. For IR-UTE, an inversion time (not shown here) is inserted to null the longitudinal magnetization before UTE acquisition.
