## Abstract ## Purpose: To design a more accurate and reproducible technique for the measurement of blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability in gadolinium‐enhancing multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. ## Materials and Methods: Four MS patients were scanned using a new dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE)‐

## Abstract Dextran‐magnetite particles (DMP) were studied for their use as a MR contrast agent to visualize lesions with a blood‐brain barrier (bbb) disruption. A freezing injury to the rat cerebral cortex was used as a model of bbb disruption. The biodistribution of iv‐injected DMP was studied us
## Abstract Breakdown of the blood‐brain barrier (BBB), occurring in many neurological diseases, has been difficult to measure noninvasively in humans. Dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging measures BBB permeability. However, important technical challenges remain and normative data f
