In vivo visualization of myelin water in brain by magnetic resonance

TL;DR: The intrinsic difference in magnetic resonance spin‐spin relaxation time, T2, between water associated with myelin sheaths and water in other central nervous system tissue is exploited to measure myelin water content within any region of an image or to generate indirectly a myelin map of the brain.

In vivo measurement of T2 distributions and water contents in normal human brain

TL;DR: In this paper, T2 relaxation decay curves were acquired from five white and six gray-matter brain structures outlined in 12 normal volunteers, and the water contents of white and gray matter were 0.71 and 0.83 g/ml, respectively.
