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 …

Multiexponential T2 relaxation time measurement in the central nervous system shows a
component that originates from water trapped between the lipid bilayers of myelin. This …

Diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) is a clinically feasible extension of diffusion tensor
imaging that probes restricted water diffusion in biological tissues using magnetic resonance …

Quantitative magnetic susceptibility mapping (QSM) has recently been introduced to provide
a novel quantitative and local MRI contrast. However, the anatomical contrast represented …

Myelin water imaging, a magnetic resonance imaging technique capable of resolving the
fraction of water molecules which are located between the layers of myelin, is a valuable tool …

MRI and fMRI have been used for about three and two decades respectively and much has
changed over this time period, both in the quality of the data and in the range of applications …

Myelin water imaging (MWI) is an MRI imaging biomarker for myelin. This method can
generate an in vivo whole‐brain myelin water fraction map in approximately 10 minutes. It …

MRI at high field can be sensitized to the magnetic properties of tissues, which introduces a
signal dependence on the orientation of white matter (WM) fiber bundles relative to the …

MRI relaxometry is sensitive to a variety of tissue characteristics in a complex manner, which
makes it both attractive and challenging for characterizing tissue. This article reviews the …

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