Magnetization transfer from inhomogeneously broadened lines (ihMT): Improved imaging strategy for spinal cord applications

摘要

PurposeInhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) shows great promise for specific imaging of myelinated tissues. Whereas the ihMT technique has been previously applied in brain applications, the current report presents a strategy for cervical spinal cord (SC) imaging free of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsatility artifacts.
