Application of the Fast Field Echo Resembling a CT Using Restricted Echo-spacing (FRACTURE) Technique to Cranial and Facial Bone Lesions: A Feasibility Study
A novel imaging technique, CT-like MRI, specifically Fast Field Echo Resembling a CT Using Restricted Echo-spacing (FRACTURE), has been developed to depict bones. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of FRACTURE MRI in cranial and facial bone lesions. Our results suggest that FRACTURE MRI can be used in addition to conventional MRI to evaluate a variety of pathologies of the cranial and facial bones.
