Inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) imaging is an enhanced magnetization transfer technique, which has been shown to produce a higher white/gray matter contrast compared to conventional MT methods. This contrast is thought to be originating from dipolar order effects in myelinated tissues. In this study we compare ihMT with myelin water imaging and diffusion tensor imaging.
