This study investigated the spatial distribution of several myelin imaging methods. Myelin water fraction in GRE-MWI, apparent MWF in ViSTa-MWI, fractional pool size (F) in qMT, MT saturation, MT ratio, and FA in DTI were compared for their spatial distribution in white matter. Strong correlations were measured particularly between GRE-MWI and ViSTa-MWI and also among MT contrasts. FA showed least correlations with the other parameters.
