Magnetic resonance imaging has previously demonstrated its potential for indirectly
mapping myelin density, either by relaxometric detection of myelin water or magnetization …

Purpose Direct assessment of myelin has the potential to reveal central nervous system
abnormalities and serve as a means to follow patients with demyelinating disorders during …

We exploit the intrinsic difference in magnetic resonance spin‐spin relaxation time, T2,
between water associated with myelin sheaths and water in other central nervous system …

Myelin is critical for healthy brain function. An accurate in vivo measure of myelin content
has important implications for understanding brain plasticity and neurodegenerative …

Rapid and efficient transmission of electric signals among neurons of vertebrates is ensured
by myelin‐insulating sheaths surrounding axons. Human cognition, sensation, and motor …

The ability to measure myelin in vivo has great consequences for furthering our knowledge
of normal development, as well as for understanding a wide range of neurological disorders …

The desire to monitor the spatial–temporal characteristics of myelination in the spinal cord
(SC), in the context of pathological change in demyelinating diseases or proposed …

Multiecho imaging data were acquired at 7T from control and injured (dorsal column
transection) rat spinal cords ex vivo with in‐plane resolution of 61, 78, and 100 μm, and from …

Damage to myelin is a key feature of multiple sclerosis (MS) pathology. Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) has revolutionized our ability to detect and monitor MS pathology in vivo …

Purpose Magnetic resonance T1‐weighted images are routinely used for human brain
segmentation, brain parcellation, and clinical diagnosis of demyelinating diseases. Myelin is …
