We present results of quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) in high resolution for quantification of (qMT) parameters of otherwise MR-invisible macromolecules. qMTI was performed on a post-mortem marmoset brain at 3T and the results are compared to T1 mapping results obtained at 7T. The high resolution of 200 m permits visualization of cortical substructures in the marmoset brain, as presented for the stria of Gennari. An analysis of correlation between the macromolecular pool-size fraction and T1 shows different linear regressions in white and gray matter. This suggests i) different myelination contribution in both contrast parameters, or ii) other contributing factors.
