There is an urgent need for quantitative magnetic resonance approaches for assessing brain development, as well as for studying the effects of drugs on neural tissue inflammation. Aviv Mezer and colleagues have developed a neuroimaging method for the quantification of local tissue volume and tissue-surface interaction, producing reliable quantitative measurements across a range of scanners. They apply their method to both the healthy brain and individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
