## Abstract Quantitative analysis of magnetization transfer images has the potential to allow a more thorough characterization of the protons, both bound and free, in a tissue by extracting a number of parameters relating to the NMR properties of the protons and their local environment. This work d

## Abstract ## Objective To assess demyelination and remyelination in vivo in acute gadolinium (Gd)βenhancing lesions of multiple sclerosis (MS). ## Methods We measured significant changes in magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) consistent with demyelination and remyelination of individual lesion
## Abstract ## Purpose To explore relations between spatial distribution of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, and disability. In MS, the presence of asymptomatic brain lesions challenges the prediction of disability based on conventional brain MRI. Hypothesizing that symptomatology may partly be de
## Abstract Concanavalin A (Con A)βactivated suppressor cell activity was determined in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who had been assigned to one of three subgroups, those with active disease, those recovering from a flareβup, and those with stable disease. The level of suppression induced by t
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the behavior of texture parameters derived from the gray level coβoccurrence matrix from gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) (with lesions removed) segments of magnetization transfer ratio maps from controls and patients. ## Materials and Methods Magnetiz
## Abstract Two relatively new techniques purport to give measures of the myelin content of brain tissue. These measures are the myelin water fraction from multicompartmental __T__~2~ analysis, and the semisolid proton fraction from analysis of magnetization transfer (MT). The myelin water fraction
