This educational poster reviews the basic concepts of magnetization transfer and methods for quantitative MT imaging (QMTI). Various off- and on-resonance methods are discussed, along with their strengths and limitations for in vivo applications. General findings in neurological and muskuloskeletal imaging will also be discussed.
