Fig 8. Imaging IC with comparison between MRI modalities and immunolabeled histology.
Coronal SWI, T1, and T2 MRI were matched to corresponding histological slices stained with AChE from M3 and M4. The corresponding warped atlas was overlaid on both the SWI and the histology. Matched coronal SWI slices are shown for all animals for comparison (except M2 in which the 7T MRI scans did not extend to the level of the IC). Histograms for all coronal MRI slices were not altered, but stretched to encompass the entire spectrum (0–255).
