DTI, qMTI, and multicomponent T2 relaxometry might help
quantify changes related to white matter (WM) damage. To
understand the interplay MRI methods have as WM changes
in the corpus callosum and external capsule of the
cuprizone mouse model,
in
vivo
T2w
images and MTI were acquired weekly in control and
cuprizone-fed mice. Weekly DTI, qMTI, T1/T2 relaxometry,
T2w imaging, and EM were used to analyze
ex
vivo
tissue
after each week of cuprizone delivery. The addition of
weekly
ex
vivo
tissue
analysis allows for a more complete understanding of the
correlations between MR metrics and EM measures of
tissue pathology.
