T 2 mapping was used to detect the neurotoxicity in the rat brain caused by acute kainic acid administration. The T 2 changes were quantified using three methods: 1) simple threshold; 2) statistical parametric mapping; and 3) difference with the own baseline. It was shown that method #3 has the most sensitivity towards the detection of the neurotoxic changes of the rat brain.
