Magnetisation Transfer imaging (MTI) methods are used to
probe the macromolecular content of tissue, and find
their main application in pathologies involving changes
in tissue myelin content, such as multiple sclerosis
(MS). Among MTI techniques, those defined as
semi-quantitative (i.e. model-free) are most commonly
used since they are easy to implement and less time
consuming, and therefore more clinically feasible. In
this work, a comparison between two semi-quantitative
indices, the Magnetisation Transfer Ratio (MTR) and MT
sat
,
calculated using the Multi-Parameter Mapping technique,
is performed both in healthy and MS
post-mortem
spinal
cord samples.
