Is R2* in Human Brain White Matter Dependent on B0 Orientation?
Introduction: The observation of T2* heterogeneity in white matter at high magnetic field strength [1] has invited speculation that white matter fiber orientation with respect to the main magnetic field (B0) might contribute to this contrast. A possible mechanism is the orientation dependence of microscopic field distributions in oriented structures such as the brain’s major axonal fiber bundle...
متن کاملFiber orientation-dependent white matter contrast in gradient echo MRI.
Recent studies have shown that there is a direct link between the orientation of the nerve fibers in white matter (WM) and the contrast observed in magnitude and phase images acquired using gradient echo MRI. Understanding the origin of this link is of great interest because it could offer access to a new diagnostic tool for investigating tissue microstructure. Since it has been suggested that ...
متن کاملCorrelation between R2* and FA in Human Brain White Matter
Introduction: High resolution MRI at 7T suggests that T2* contrast may be sensitive to white matter composition and microstructure [1]. Preliminary histological and MRI results show that the T2* heterogeneity in white matter may be in part reflect its myelin content [2]. In this study, the quantitative correlation between T2* relaxation rate (R2*=1/ T2*) and diffusion fractional anisotropy (FA)...
متن کاملOrientation Dependence of Magnetization Transfer in Human White Matter
Introduction. Detailed information about macromolecules could be most valuable for a better understanding of tissue composition. Information about macromolecules can be obtained from magnetization-transfer (MT) experiments using off-resonance saturation of the broad macromolecular resonance line and observation of the effect on the free water pool [1]. Another aspect of microstructure is orient...
متن کاملOrientation dependence of magnetization transfer parameters in human white matter
Quantification of magnetization-transfer (MT) experiments is typically based on a model comprising a liquid pool "a" of free water and a semisolid pool "b" of motionally restricted macromolecules or membrane compounds. By a comprehensive fitting approach, high quality MT parameter maps of the human brain are obtained. In particular, a distinct correlation between the diffusion-tensor orientatio...
