Synopsis
The ability to estimate neurological disease progression based on objective quantitative measurements could be of great value for assessing treatment efficacy. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of acquiring high-resolution anatomic and quantitative images at 7T in the sciatic, tibial, and fibular nerves, allowing quantitative assessment of individual fascicles. We also measure the quantities of fascicle cross-sectional area, T2, ADC, and fat fraction for CMT1A patients and healthy controls and investigate any between-group differences.
