Eleven healthy volunteers were scanned twice within the
same session at 3T using a whole brain fast T2prep 3D
spiral sequence. Myelin water fraction (MWF) maps were
extracted from these spirals using an automated
processing pipeline with the spatially constrained
multi-Gaussian algorithm. The inter-scan repeatability
for the test-retest reliability of whole brain MWF maps
was assessed. The whole brain MWF maps were highly
repeatable between the two scans with the mean
correlation coefficient R = 0.91 0.03 and mean
relative mean squared difference = 3.5 1.5% (n=11).
Bland-Altman plots reveal a negligible bias within
narrow limits of agreement.
