The biophysical origins of MR signal formation in uniform media such as an axon with its multilayered myelin envelope may produce signal characteristics that can be used to determine status and/or outcome of demyelinating disease. We extend a recently proposed model of neuronal magnetic susceptibility by including the whole dynamic range of diffusion effects to study gradient-echo MR signal decay. Our results may be used to adjust or control simulation studies on neuronal MR signal decay.
