Monitoring Diffuse Injury in the EAE model for MS using CEST MRI

T1w/FLASH, T2w, T2*w, and metabolite-sensitive chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI values (.xls) were acquired in the chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model (C57Bl/6, female, 6-10 weeks old, active induction against myelin antigen MOG35-55) at multiple regions of the brain and spinal cord (.ppt) over the course of the disease as paralysis progressed.

CEST methods include the continuous wave (CW, at the 0-4 ppm frequencies), amide proton transfer (APT, at 3.6 ppm), and on resonance variable delay multiple pulse (onVDMP, at 0 ppm).
