Test-retest reliability of myelin imaging in the human spinal cord: Measurement errors versus region- and aging-induced variations.

To implement a statistical framework for assessing the precision of several quantitative MRI metrics sensitive to myelin in the human spinal cord: T1, Magnetization Transfer Ratio (MTR), saturation imposed by an off-resonance pulse (MTsat) and Macromolecular Tissue Volume (MTV).Thirty-three healthy...
