T2 distribution from multiple sclerosis (MS) normal‐appearing white matter (NAWM) in formalin at 7T (black), 1.5T (gray) and in vivo (light gray). All three distributions have a similar shape, showing two distinct peaks with the myelin water peak on the left and intra/extracellular (IE) component on the right. However, the IE component is shifted to shorter times for the 1.5T formalin sample, and even shorter for the 7T formalin sample when compared to in vivo.
