摘要
Studies have shown that T-2* contrast can reveal features of cortical anatomy. However, understanding the relationship between T-2* contrast and the underlying cyto- and myelo-architecture is not an easy task, given the number of confounds, such as myelin, iron, blood vessels and structure orientation. Moreover, it is difficult to obtain reliable T-2* measurements in the cortex due to its thin and folded geometry and the presence of artifacts. This review addresses issues associated with T-2* mapping in the human cortex. After describing the theory behind T-2* relaxation, a list of practical steps is proposed to reliably acquire and process T-2* data and then map these values within the cortex using surface-based analysis. The last section addresses the question: "What can we gain from T-2* cortical mapping?", with particular emphasis on Brodmann mapping. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
