Myelin-sensitive inversion recovery (MySIR) for quantification of myelin in the peripheral nerve
Motivation: Quantification of myelin in peripheral nerves remains challenging. Goal(s): To evaluate new imaging techniques that quantify myelin in the peripheral nerve. Approach: Myelin-sensitive inversion recovery (MySIR) was compared with inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) for its ability to reflect myelin value and spatial resolution in the peripheral nerve. Results: Myelin values of MySIR and ihMT were strongly correlated. MySIR had a better ability to visualize nerve fascicles than ihMT. Impact: MySIR could quantify myelin while maintaining high spacial resolution in peripheral nerves.
