[Abstract] MRI is a conventional imaging technique for the diagnosis of skeletal muscle tissue diseases, but many skeletal muscle tissues can not be clearly displayed on conventional MRI images because of their inherent short T2 values. With the application and development of ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI technology, short T2 tissue can be directly imaged and quantitatively described. This paper gives a brief review of UTE MRI technology and its application in bone and muscle system.
