Towards assessing and improving the reliability of ultrashort echo time quantitative magnetization transfer (UTE-qMT) MRI of cortical bone: In silico and ex vivo study
The digital phantom approach enables the assessment of the reliability of bone UTE-qMT fitting by providing the known ground truth. These findings can be utilized for optimizing the data acquisition and analysis pipeline for UTE-qMT imaging of cortical bones.
