Multi-exponential T2 Myelin Water Imaging in Ex-Vivo Rodent Brain at 7T and 15.2T

To apply MWI techniques to excised, fixed rodent brains, multi-exponential T2 (MET2) data were acquired at high (7T) and ultra-high (15.2T) fields with and without tissue doping with Gadolinium to increase SNR efficiency. From relaxivity measurements, optimal scan parameters are found based on the m...
