In this study, we demonstrate the in vivo feasibility of multicomponent 3D-T1rho relaxation mapping of whole brain using 3T MRI in five healthy subjects. Our preliminary results suggest that the bi-exponential model better represents the relaxation behavior in white matter and has potential to differentiate between different water compartments associated with myelin bound water (short component) and intra-extracellular water (long component).
