We have established a novel 3D dual-echo UTE-MT imaging method to assess hyperintense T1w signal in iron-rich brain areas by eliminating the ultra-short T2 constituents of the myelin signal via the magnetization transfer (MT) technique. Our preliminary results show improved positive image contrast in deep brain areas such as the substantia nigra (SN) and the LC. Other iron-rich areas in the basal ganglia (globus pallidus and putamen) also show improved contrast.
