We
investigate T1 and T2 values in Brodmann areas of the normal brain using 3D magnetic
resonance fingerprinting. Our results demonstrate the sensitivity of
multi-parametric MRF results at 3T to differentiate cortical regions with different
cyto- or myelo-architecture.
Figure 2. Mean and
standard deviation of MRF T1 and T2 values of gray matter in selected Brodmann
areas. Paired t-test was performed between Brodmann areas 8 and the other
areas. p* < 0.05
Figure 5.
Correlation analyses between T1 and T2. Spearman’s correlation analysis was
performed in each BA. Green: p* < 0.05, red: p > 0.05
