Magnetisation transfer ratio and mean diffusivity of normal appearing white and grey matter from patients with multiple sclerosis

OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of a new technique based on diffusion anisotropy to segment white and grey matter of the brain. To use this technique to measure the mean diffusivity (D̄) and magnetisation transfer ratio (MTR) of normal appearing white matter (NAWM) and grey matter (NAGM) from pa...
