Assessment of microstructural signal compartments across the corpus callosum using multi-echo gradient recalled echo at 7 T

Quantitative assessment of tissue microstructure is important in studying human brain diseases and disorders in which white matter is implicated, as it has been linked to demyelination, re-myelination, and axonal damage in clinical conditions. Ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging data obtained using a multi-echo gradient echo sequence has been shown to contain information on myelin, axonal and extracellular compartments in white matter....
