Recently an imaging pulse sequence based on selective saturation of the water that drives magnetization transfer from the non-aqueous semi-solid part of the tissues was introduced. This technique allows the estimation of the fraction of the protons in the non-aqueous species. It separates the exchange processes from T1 in a simple way. In the current study, using this technique, we demonstrate changes with age of the non-aqueous species content in porcine spinal cord.
