High‐resolution myelin‐water fraction and quantitative relaxation mapping using <scp>3D ViSTa‐MR</scp> fingerprinting

Abstract

In this work, we have developed a 3D ViSTa-MRF technique that enables the acquisition of whole-brain MWF, quantitative T₁, T₂, and PD maps at 1 and 0.66 mm isotropic resolution in 5 and 15 min, respectively. This advancement allows for quantitative investigations of myelination changes in the brain.
