Preoperative clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols for gliomas, brain tumors
with dismal outcomes due to their infiltrative properties, still rely on conventional structural …

Myelin is the protective sheath wrapped around axons, consisting of a phospholipid bilayer
with water between the wraps. The measurement of damage to the myelin sheaths, the …

Purpose This study explores the possibility of using gradient echo‐based sequences other
than balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) in the magnetic resonance …

Purpose There are many T1 mapping methods available, each of them validated in
phantoms and reporting excellent agreement with literature. However, values in literature …

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

Abstract Evaluation of Central Nervous System (CNS) focal lesions has been classically
made focusing on the assessment solid or enhancing component. However, the assessment …

Technical advances in MRI have improved image quality and have led to expanding clinical
indications for its use. However, long examination and interpretation times, as well as higher …

MRI is undoubtedly the cornerstone of brain tumor imaging, playing a key role in all phases
of patient management, starting from diagnosis, through therapy planning, to treatment …

Background Water signal contamination is a major challenge for direct ultrashort echo time
(UTE) imaging of myelin in vivo because water contributes most of the signals detected in …

Epilepsy has been associated with a dysfunction of the blood–brain barrier. While there is
ample evidence that a dysfunction of the blood–brain barrier contributes to epileptogenesis …
