Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging techniques based on magnetisation transfer exploit the inherent heterogeneity of tissue with respect to relaxatio n times T1 and T2. Contrast reflecting the interactions between distin ct relaxation ''environments'' may be exploited via novel quantitative analysis for potential gains in specificity of the MR examination in multiple sclerosis.
