Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) resolves brain structures at the millimetre scale, up to three orders of magnitude coarser than the blood vessels, perivascular spaces, and myelinated axons of white matter. This microstructure cannot, therefore, be imaged directly; in this thesis, I combine physics-based simulation with statistical and deep-learning inference to develop methods for inferring these structures' properties from their imprint on the magnetic resonance signal.
