Magnetization transfer in MRI: a review. Henkelman, R. M., Stanisz, G. J., & Graham, S. J. NMR in Biomedicine, 14(2):57–64, 2001.
Magnetization transfer in MRI: a review [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This review describes magnetization transfer (MT) contrast in magnetic resonance imaging. A qualitative description of how MT works is provided along with experimental evidence that leads to a quantitative model for MT in tissues. The implementation of MT saturation in imaging sequences and the interpretation of the MT-induced signal change in terms of exchange processes and direct effects are presented. Finally, highlights of clinical uses of MT are outlined and future directions for investigation proposed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Abbreviations used:eff
