Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnetic field and radio waves to generate
images of tissues in the body. Conventional MRI techniques have been developed to image …

This review on brain multiparametric quantitative MRI (MP-qMRI) focuses on the primary
subset of quantitative MRI (qMRI) parameters that represent the mobile (“free”) and bound …

Neuroscience and clinical researchers are increasingly interested in quantitative magnetic
resonance imaging (qMRI) due to its sensitivity to micro-structural properties of brain tissue …

Strict iron regulation is essential for normal brain function. The iron homeostasis, determined
by the milieu of available iron compounds, is impaired in aging, neurodegenerative …

How does cortical tissue change as brain function and behavior improve from childhood to
adulthood? By combining quantitative and functional magnetic resonance imaging in …

Background Only sparse literature investigates the reproducibility and repeatability of
relaxometry methods in MRI. However, statistical data on reproducibility and repeatability of …

Mapping structural spatial change (ie, gradients) in the striatum is essential for
understanding the function of the basal ganglia in both health and disease. We developed a …

Recent years have seen a growing interest in relating MRI measurements to the structural-
biophysical properties of white matter fibers. The fiber g-ratio, defined as the ratio between …

Background The histological grade of bladder cancer (BCa) is an important factor
associated with the treatment and prognosis. However, accurate determination of the …

Background The g-ratio, quantifying the comparative thickness of the myelin sheath
encasing an axon, is a geometrical invariant that has high functional relevance because of …
