Description:
Due to very short T2 relaxation times, imaging of tendons is typically performed using ultra-short echo-time (UTE) acquisition techniques. In this work, we combined an echo-train shifted multi-echo 3D UTE imaging sequence with a 3D curved surface reconstruction to virtually extract the patellar tendon from an acquired 3D UTE dataset. Based on the analysis of the acquired multi-echo data, a T2* relaxation time parameter map was calculated and interpolated to the curved surface of the patellar tendon.
