T1 weighted Zero Echo Time (ZTE) imaging at 7T with
phased array coils provides improved depiction of
cortical and subcortical multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions
and surrounding tissue. In equivalent scan times to
conventional methods, the sequence provides more uniform
grey-white contrast, allowing improved delineation of
cortical structures in addition to providing clear
depiction of MS lesions and fast relaxing tissues within
the brain. Images acquired with both conventional and
ZTE inversion recover prepared sequences in several MS
patients are compared.
