Title
Studying brain cytoarchitecture with MRI—Present, future and promises of high field
Abstract
This review surveys the efforts that have been done so far to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other related methods to investigate the complex microstructural features of brain tissue in a quantitative and semiquantitative manner. Emphasis is put on diffusion and diffusion-relaxation methods, which were borrowed from the field of porous media nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and which are those that allow the most direct link between the measured NMR signal and the microscopic geometry of the investigated medium. Other methods that allow compartment-specific measurements with MR, such as multiple quantum filtered NMR of quadrupolar nuclei, are also discussed. The potential contribution of high field MRI to these methods and possible future directions are lastly discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Imaging Syst Technol, 20, 57–61, 2010
