Synopsis

The dipolar order relaxation time (T1D) is a probe of membrane dynamics and microstructure and could serve to further understand the relationship between the myelin membrane integrity and its biological function. In this work, the ability of quantitative inhomogeneous Magnetization Transfer (qihMT) to estimate the several T1D components of a synthetic lipid membrane system, a surrogate for the myelin membrane, was evaluated by comparison with the gold standard method for T1D quantification, the NMR Jeener-Broekaert (JB) sequence.
