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.
