Removal of cerebrospinal fluid partial volume effects in quantitative magnetization transfer imaging using a three‐pool model with nonexchanging water component

Parameters of the two‐pool model describing magnetization transfer (MT) in macromolecule‐rich tissues may be significantly biased in partial volume (PV) voxels containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The purpose of this study was to develop a quantitative MT (qMT) method that provides indices insensitive to CSF PV averaging.
