A previous study suggests that outer cortical magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) has the potential to be a sensitive measure of pathology that is linked to clinical disease progression in relapse-onset multiple sclerosis. However, to determine the utility of the inner and outer cortical MTR measurement method it is important to determine the reproducibility of the technique. Here we demonstrate that inner and outer cortical MTR have coefficients of variation of 1.23% and 0.99% respectively.
