Myelin water fraction (MWF) is conventionally measured using the T2 decay curve.In this work, GRASE T2 decay curves were performed with different TEs and numbers of echoes for six healthy subjects. These sequences permit more applications for myelin water imaging in clinical studies and neuroscience.
