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 …

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 …

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 …

Among current modalities of biomedical and diagnostic imaging, MRI stands out by virtue of
its versatile contrast obtained without ionizing radiation. However, in various cases, eg …

Background Signal contamination from long T2 water is a major challenge in direct imaging
of myelin with MRI. Nulling of the unwanted long T2 signals can be achieved with an …

Myelin plays a key role in the function of the central nervous system and is involved in many
neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, depiction of myelin is desired for both research and …

A full picture of longitudinal relaxation in complex heterogeneous environments like white
matter brain tissue remains elusive. In tissue, successive approximations, from the solvation …

Purpose This study aimed to develop a new 3D dual‐echo rosette k‐space trajectory,
specifically designed for UTE MRI applications. The imaging of the ultra‐short transverse …

Lipids are important molecules that are widely distributed within the cell, and they play a
crucial role in several biological processes such as cell membrane formation, signaling, cell …

Purpose To explore the properties of short‐T2 signals in human brain, investigate the impact
of various experimental procedures on these properties and evaluate the performance of …
