Figure 3

UTE imaging of a phantom consisting of a tube of water, a tube of fat and a piece of eraser rubber with a short T2* (A). UTE imaging with the adiabatic inversion pulse centered on the water peak completely nulls the water signal but the fat signal remains high (B). UTE imaging with the adiabatic inversion pulse centered on the fat peak significantly suppressed the fat signal but the water signal remains high (C). The DIR-UTE technique suppresses both water and fat, leaving a high contrast image of the rubber (D). The ring artifacts surrounding the fat tube and rubber are due to off-resonance effects.
