Abstract
A medical apparatus includes a magnetic resonance imaging system for acquiring magnetic resonance data from an imaging volume, a processor for controlling the medical apparatus, and a memory containing machine executable instructions and a pulse sequence. The magnetic resonance data acquired using the pulse sequence comprises free induction decay data and multiple gradient echo data. Execution of the instructions causes the processor to acquire the magnetic resonance data using the magnetic resonance imaging system in accordance with the pulse sequence, and reconstruct an in-phase image, a fat-saturated image, a water-saturated image, and an ultra-short echo time image from the magnetic resonance data, wherein the ultra-short echo time image comprises bone image data.
