ihMT can detect residual non-compact myelin in the context of cellular infiltrates in the dysmyelinating shiverer mouse model, suggesting higher sensitivity to myelin than conventional MT.
Fig. 5: Representative images of control and shiverer mouse brains. T2-weighted image (leftmost) is compared with ihMTR image at a dual offset frequency of 12 kHz as well as MTR image at offset frequencies of 4, 8, 16 kHz. Corpus callosum (orange arrow), cerebral peduncle (yellow), and trigeminal nerve (green).
