Alterations to white matter have been implicated in a
number of neurodegenerative diseases. In this work we
investigate the sensitivity of MRI magnetic
susceptibility mapping to these changes using a mouse
model of Tauopathy. A non-rigid registration of contrast
enhanced, high resolution ex vivo mouse brain images is
used to transform susceptibility maps into a common
space and a voxel-wise group comparison is performed.
Significant differences were observed that may indicate
disruption to the tissue of the corpus callosum.
