Relaxation-exchange magnetic resonance imaging (REXI): a non-invasive imaging method for evaluating trans-barrier water exchange in the choroid plexus

Abstract Background The choroid plexus (CP) plays a crucial role in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and brain homeostasis. However, non-invasive imaging techniques to assess its function remain limited. This study was conducted to develop a novel, contrast-agent-free MRI technique, termed relax...
