Filter exchange imaging with crusher gradient modelling detects increased blood–brain barrier water permeability in response to mild lung infection

Abstract Blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction occurs in many brain diseases, and there is increasing evidence to suggest that it is an early process in dementia which may be exacerbated by peripheral infection. Filter-exchange imaging (FEXI) is an MRI technique for measuring trans-membrane water ex...
