originating from vibrational Lorentz forces induced by rapidly changing currents in the
magnetic field gradient coils. Using zero echo time (ZTE) MRI pulse sequences, gradient
switching can be reduced to a minimum, which enables near silent operation. Besides silent
MRI, ZTE offers further interesting characteristics, including a nominal echo time of TE= 0
(thus capturing short-lived signals from MR tissues which are otherwise MR-invisible), 3D …
