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 …

The fiber g-ratio is the ratio of the inner to the outer diameter of the myelin sheath of a
myelinated axon. It has a limited dynamic range in healthy white matter, as it is optimized for …

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

Quantitative MRI of the brain: principles of physical measurement/editors, Mara Cercignani …

Abstract The Locus Coeruleus (LC) and the Substantia Nigra (SN) are small brainstem
nuclei that change with aging and may be involved in the development of various …

We present MRiLab, a new comprehensive simulator for large-scale realistic MRI
simulations on a regular PC equipped with a modern graphical processing unit (GPU) …

Recent innovations in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement
methods have led to improvements in accuracy, repeatability, and acquisition speed, and …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized the way we look at the human body.
However, conventional MR scanners are not measurement devices. They produce digital …

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 …

Intense off-resonant RF irradiation can lead to saturation of the macromolecular pool
magnetization and enhance bound pool dipolar order responsible for the inhomogeneous …
