Figure 2From: Ultra-short echo time cardiovascular magnetic resonance of atherosclerotic carotid plaqueAn illustration of a typical UTE sequence (a) used for this study with 3D radial k-space sampling (b). RF = radiofrequency pulse, TE = time to echo, Analogue- to- digital converter (ADC), Gx, y, z = orthogonal gradients and GR and GSpoiler = readout and spoiler gradients, respectively.
