Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging system is provided. The system includes a magnet assembly, a controller, and a marker. The magnet assembly defines a bore within which an object is disposed. The controller communicates with the magnet assembly. The marker is disposed on the object and emits a rapidly decaying magnetic resonance signal after being excited by a short-TE sequence scan executed by the controller via the magnet assembly.
