“…In parallel, there has been increasing interest in using non-invasive myelin maps, including T1w/T2w myelin maps, to make comparisons across individuals and groups, for example in healthy adults (Teraguchi et al, 2014; Shafee et al, 2015; Yang et al, 2020), over the course of development (Bozek et al, 2018; Grydeland et al, 2019; Norbom et al, 2020; Kwon et al, 2020), aging (Grydeland et al, 2013; 2019; Vidal-Piñeiro et al, 2016), in brain diseases (Teraguchi et al, 2014; Granberg et al, 2017; Rowley et al 2018; Nakamura et al, 2017; Du et al, 2019; Wei et al, 2020; Qiu et al, 2021), and for exploration of other neurobiological questions (Grydeland et al, 2016; Ma and Zhang 2017; Burt et al, 2018; Fukutomi et al, 2018; Li et al, 2019; Toschi et al, 2019; Gao et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2020; Paquola et al, 2020); however, additional considerations arise when using T1w/T2w myelin maps to address such questions. For example, although in the absence of head motion there is an exact correction of the spatially varying radiofrequency (RF) receive field (B1-) effects after taking the ratio of T1w and T2w images (either from the head coil or from the body coil after vendor receive field correction), this ratio leaves in RF transmit (B1+) field effects because they differ between the T1w and T2w images (Glasser and Van Essen 2011, and as will be discussed in Section 2.1 below).…”
