Abstract:
A major goal of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) community is myelin quantification. MRI contrast depends on tissue microstructure, so quantitative models require good understanding of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) physics in these complex, heterogeneous environments. In this thesis, we study the underlying physics behind two different 1 H contrast mechanisms in white and grey matter tissue: T 1 relaxation and the recently developed Inhomogeneous Magnetization Transfer (ihMT).
