Optimized <scp>3D UTE</scp> and <scp>ZTE MRI</scp> for high‐resolution lung imaging: A comparative study
UTE outperformed ZTE in terms of image sharpness and artifact reduction for lung imaging. The proposed transient UTE sequence further enhanced SNR, demonstrating the potential for improved lung MRI quality and diagnostic accuracy.
