## Abstract Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging provides a unique method of tissue characterization by capitalizing on the interaction between solidβlike tissue components and bulk water. We used a continuousβwave (CW) MT pulse sequence with low irradiation power to study healthy human brains in vi
Proton T2 relaxation and its biexponential components have been determined in rabbit skeletal muscle in the presence and absence of GdDTPA. The effect of GdDTPA, which distributes only in the extracellular space, was greatest in the longer-relaxing T2 component (T2\*). A 27% reduction in T2\* was me
## Abstract The Ξ± diffusionβweighted imaging (__DWI__) method was developed to study heterogeneous water diffusion in the human brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An advantage of this model is that it does not require an assumption about the shape of the intravoxel distribution of appare
## Abstract ## Purpose To explore the value of diffusionβweighted imaging (DWI) and magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) for the improved detection and quantification of cerebral tissue changes associated with ageing and white matter hyperintensities (WMH). ## Materials and Methods DWI (n = 340)
It is well known that diffusion-induced MR signal loss deviates from monoexponential decay, particularly at high b-values (e.g., >1500 sec/mm 2 for human brain tissues). A number of models have been developed to describe this anomalous diffusion behavior and relate the diffusion measurements to tiss
