Feasibility study of using Zero TE Sequence to evaluate pulmonary lesions: compared with CT examination

Pulmonary MRI zero-echo time (ZTE) and MRI conventional sequences were compared with thoracic computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the lesions. All participants in the study underwent chest CT, ZTE, T2-TSE, T2-HASTE, and T1-VIBE scans. ZTE can be used as a supplementary examination of CT imaging. ZTE combined with T2WI can improve the detection rate and display performance of pulmonary nodules
