3D inversion recovery ultrashort echo time MRI can detect demyelination in cuprizone-treated mice

PurposeTo test the ability of inversion-recovery ultrashort echo time (IR-UTE) MRI to directly detect demyelination in mice using a standard cuprizone mouse model.MethodsNon-aqueous myelin protons have ultrashort T2s and are “invisible” with conventional MRI sequences but can be detected with UTE se...
