Multi-centre MRI studies are essential for enrolling
large and diverse patient cohorts in the study of
neurological diseases. Therefore, a multi-centre MRI
standardization tool that mimics the in-vivo human brain
is needed. Here, we provide evidence that a human
post-mortem brain is a valid model for the
standardization of multi-centre MRI studies. Using T1
mapping, T2, MTR and PD, the relaxation times of this
model were found to be stable over the time course.
Moreover, such a model can provide volumetric measures
of GM and WM, which could also be used for intra- as
well as inter-site comparisons.
