IR-UTE imaging of the tibial midshaft of a 39 year old healthy female volunteer with a TR of 300 ms, a TI of 110 ms, and TEs of 8 µs (A), 0.1 ms (B), 0.2 ms (C), 0.4 ms (D), 0.6 ms (E), 1.0 ms (F), 1.5 ms (G) and 2.5 ms (H) as well as single-component fitting of the bone signal decay (I), which accounted for 99.88% of the signal variance, consistent with only bound water with a T2* of 347 ± 10 µs being detected by the IR-UTE sequence. Residual signals from muscle and fat were better observed at longer TEs due to fast signal decay from cortical bone, which dominated the IR-UTE signal at shorter TEs.
