To perform direct, selective MRI of short-T2 tissues using zero echo time (ZTE) imaging with weighted echo subtraction (WSUB). ⋯ Weighted subtraction of ZTE and GRE data reconciles robust long-T2 suppression with fastest k-space coverage and high SNR efficiency. This approach enables high-resolution imaging with excellent selectivity to short-T2 tissues, which are of major interest in MSK and neuroimaging applications.
