The bound pool fraction (BPF) is a fundamental parameter
for magnetization transfer and therefore expected to be
more sensitive for age-related tissue changes compared
to the conventional MTR. This study investigated the
change of the BPF in several white-matter regions
assessed over age in a normal aging cohort. This study
confirms the higher sensitivity of the BPF in particular
for WM regions that are susceptible for developing age
related white matter hyperintensities.
