In this work the possibility of obtaining magnetisation
transfer ratio (MTR) measurements in grey matter (GM)
and white matter (WM) within the lumbo-sacral
enlargement (LSE) is investigated. This is achieved with
the use of radial acquisition profile to alleviate the
effects of physiological motion associated with this
level of the spinal cord. The method presented maybe
used with a commercially available MRI system and future
studies will be directed at assessing the value of this
method to study neurological disease affecting the
lumbar spinal cord.
