Untangling the R2* contrast in multiple sclerosis: A combined MRI-histology study at 7.0 Tesla.

Untangling the R2* contrast in multiple sclerosis: A combined MRI-histology study at 7.0 Tesla.

T2*-weighted multi-echo gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging and its reciprocal R2* are used in brain imaging due to their sensitivity to iron content. In patients with multiple sclerosis who display pathological alterations in iron and myelin contents, the use of R2* may offer a unique way to u...
