Clinical Potential of UTE‐MRI for Assessing COVID‐19: Patient‐ and Lesion‐Based Comparative Analysis

Chest computed tomography (CT) has shown tremendous clinical potential for screening, diagnosis, and surveillance of COVID‐19. However, safety concerns are warranted due to repeated exposure of X‐rays over a short period of time. Recent advances in MRI suggested that ultrashort echo time MRI (UTE‐MRI) was valuable for pulmonary applications.
