A first-ever spinal cord imaging meeting was sponsored by the International Spinal
Research Trust and the Wings for Life Foundation with the aim of identifying the current state …

The amide proton transfer (APT) effect has emerged as a unique endogenous molecular
imaging contrast mechanism with great clinical potentials. However, in vivo quantitative …

Magnetization transfer contrast has yielded insight into brain tissue microstructure changes
across the lifespan and in a range of disorders. This progress has been aided by the …

Locus Coeruleus (LC) is a neuromelanin-rich brainstem structure that is the source of
noradrenaline in the cortex and is thought to modulate attention and memory. LC imaging in …

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is a technique to indirectly detect pools of
exchangeable protons through the water signal. To increase its applicability to human …

Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging is a novel MRI technique, in which the amide protons of
endogenous proteins and peptides are irradiated to accomplish indirect detection using the …

Over the last two decades, numerous human MRI studies of neuroplasticity have shown
compelling evidence for extensive and rapid experience-induced brain plasticity in vivo. To …

Phantoms, both numerical (software) and physical (hardware), can serve as a gold standard
for the validation of MRI methods probing the brain microstructure. This review aims to …

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI is a versatile imaging method that
probes the chemical exchange between bulk water and exchangeable protons. CEST …
