摘要：
With use of an established physical model, numeric simulations were performed to evaluate current imaging protocols for the two primary applications of magnetization transfer: cerebral magnetic resonance angiography and neuroimaging of white matter disease. The authors found that the current technique is appropriate in the former but suboptimal in the latter. Further clinical investigations could potentially improve magnetization protocols for neuroimaging.
