Abstract
The exemplified system and method facilitate an objective, non-invasive measurement of myelin quality and integrity in living brains based on isolation of myelin-specific magnetic relaxation constants in k-space. The system uses magnetic resonance (MR) signals to select signatures specific to, or associated with, myelin and its structure and to then encode the selected signatures into an image or model to which the quantitative myelin health information can be co-registered with 2D, 3D visualization, and tractography of the myelin-signal isolated MR information. The system also sets a model for digital hierarchical learning of biomedical signals in MR, and beyond, based on experimental data in which it executes the herein described signal isolation operations.
