A previous study suggests that outer cortical
magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) has the potential to
be a sensitive measure of pathology that is linked to
clinical disease progression in relapse-onset multiple
sclerosis. However, to determine the utility of the
inner and outer cortical MTR measurement method it is
important to determine the reproducibility of the
technique. Here we demonstrate that inner and outer
cortical MTR have coefficients of variation of 1.23% and
0.99% respectively.
