## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the correlation between water content (WC) and magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) in normal and multiple sclerosis (MS) brain. The MTR has been proposed as a marker for myelin in central nervous system tissue. However, changes in WC due to inflammation and ede
I read the recent report on magnetization transfer ratio as a marker for myelin in multiple sclerosis with a great interest (1). Vavasour et al concluded that ''MTR was correlated with WC in MS tissue, indicating that inflammation and edema influence MTR (1).'' This finding is very interesting. Howe
