摘要：
The invention provides for a medical apparatus (300, 400, 500) comprising: a magnetic resonance imaging system (302) for acquiring magnetic resonance data (342) from an imaging zone (308)； a processor (330) for controlling the medical apparatus； a memory (336) storing machine executable instructions (350, 352, 354, 356). Execution of the instructions causes the processor to: acquire (100, 200) the magnetic resonance data using a pulse sequence (340) which specifies an echo time greater than 400 μβ； reconstruct (102, 202) a magnetic resonance image using the magnetic resonance data； generate (104, 204) a thresholded image (346) by thresholding the magnetic resonance image to emphasize bone structures and suppressing tissue structures in the magnetic resonance image； and generate (106, 206) a bone-enhanced image by applying a background removal algorithm to the thresholded image.
