Quantifying development : using T₂ relaxation to investigate myelination of the corpus callosum in preadolescents
This thesis describes a novel voxel‐based analysis of the transverse (T₂) relaxation decay curve to quantify myelin water fraction (MWF). Multi‐echo T₂ relaxation decay data was acquired for 5 preadolescent males (age range 9 – 12 years). A novel signal to noise filter appropriate for multi‐exponent...
