Zusammenfassung:A technique and associated imaging system is provided that selectively acquires the myelin water signal by utilizing a multiple inversion RF pulses to suppress a range of long T1 components including those from axonal and extracellular water. This leaves the myelin water, which has been suggested to have short T1, as the primary source of the image. After long T1 suppression, the resulting image is dominated by short T2 in the range of the myelin water (T2*
