Myelin Measurement: Comparison Between Simultaneous Tissue Relaxometry, Magnetization Transfer Saturation Index, and T1w/T2w Ratio Methods
2018
Overview
Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging has been widely used for estimating myelin content in the brain. Recently, two other approaches, namely simultaneous tissue relaxometry of R
1
and R
2
relaxation rates and proton density (SyMRI) and the ratio of T
1
-weighted to T
2
-weighted images (T
1
w/T
2
w ratio), were also proposed as methods for measuring myelin. SyMRI and MT imaging have been reported to correlate well with actual myelin by histology. However, for T
1
w/T
2
w ratio, such evidence is limited. In 20 healthy adults, we examined the correlation between these three methods, using MT saturation index (MT
sat
) for MT imaging. After calibration, white matter (WM) to gray matter (GM) contrast was the highest for SyMRI among these three metrics. Even though SyMRI and MT
sat
showed strong correlation in the WM (r = 0.72), only weak correlation was found between T
1
w/T
2
w and SyMRI (r = 0.45) or MT
sat
(r = 0.38) (correlation coefficients significantly different from each other, with
p
values < 0.001). In subcortical and cortical GM, these measurements showed moderate to strong correlations to each other (r = 0.54 to 0.78). In conclusion, the high correlation between SyMRI and MT
sat
indicates that both methods are similarly suited to measure myelin in the WM, whereas T
1
w/T
2
w ratio may be less optimal.
