Are Collagen Protons Visible with the Zero Echo Time (ZTE) Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequence: A D<sub>2</sub>O Exchange and Freeze-Drying Study

It is known that ultrashort echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences can detect signals from water protons but not collagen protons in short T2 species such as cortical bone and tendons. However, whether collagen protons are visible with the zero echo time (ZTE) MRI sequence is sti...
