Imaging the peripheral nerves and their roots can be
difficult on MT MRI due to lack of contrast with the
surrounding tissues and breathing movements. A new MT
DWIBS sequence has been successfully introduced to
measure the MTR values for brachial plexus and used for
MT, NOE study. Both the nerves and cord showed z-spectra
asymmetry. NOE effects could give new insights into the
interactions between semisolid tissue and bulk water
inside the nerves and cord. In future NOE will be
quantified by exploring the z-spectra asymmetry with
several offset frequencies and RF powers to study
myelination.
