This study provides methodological
background for neuroimaging applications of fast 3D MPF mapping in ultra-high
magnetic fields and demonstrates that MPF presents the most effective source of
high-field brain tissue contrast. Unique contrast features, high spatial
resolution, and the capability to provide quantitative information about
myelination make MPF mapping an ultimate tool for small animal neuroimaging in
high magnetic fields.
