The present study shows the interest of passive staining and T2* weighted images to detect amyloid plaques on a APP/PS1 mouse brain. It also focus on the diffusion of contrast agent during this experiment and the consequences on the contrast of images. It shows that an important contrast in proton density appears added to the existent T2* contrast.
