Quantitative MR Imaging

MR imaging is superior to other imaging techniques for studying diseases of the nervous system due to its high spatial resolution and the inherent high soft tissue contrast. Conventional MR imaging based diagnosis is mostly based on cross-sectional views on analog films, resulting in subjective and descriptive or qualitative results. The digital character of MR, however, offers the opportunity to extract additional quantitative and objective information on organ shape and function for diagnosis and therapy support. Clinical requirements for extracting such information have grown considerably in neurological applications.
