要旨:
Quantitative MRI maps are believed to strongly correlate with myelin and iron contents. Recently, a linear model combining prior information from non-MRI techniques was proposed for quantifying myelin and iron based on relaxometry (R1 and R2*) in post-mortem human brain samples. Here, we propose an adaptation of the linear relaxation model that is capable of predicting (with some limitations) the myelin and iron contents of the brain under in vivo conditions. It uses prior knowledge from the literature to calibrate the linear coefficients and was validated in a cohort of 10 subjects.
