Abstract
The invention provides for a magnetic resonance imaging system () comprising: a magnet () for generating a main magnetic field with an imaging zone (), and a gradient coil system (). The gradient coil system comprises a set of unshielded gradient coils (). The magnetic resonance imaging system further comprises a processor () for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system. Execution of the instructions stored in a memory cause the processor to: acquire () imaging magnetic resonance data () from a volume () within the imaging zone using a zero echo time pulse sequence; reconstruct () a three-dimensional image () using the imaging magnetic resonance data; subtract a calibration image from the three-dimensional image, the calibration image having been acquired without a subject in the imaging zone; and render the three-dimensional image on a display by projecting it on a two-dimensional plane.
