Abstract
Methods of making a white matter fibrogram representing the connectome of the brain of a subject, comprising: (a) performing a multispectral multislice magnetic resonance scan on the brain of a subject, (b) storing image data indicative of a plurality of magnetic resonance weightings of each of a plurality of slices of the brain of the subject to provide directly acquired images, (c) processing the directly acquired images to generate a plurality of quantitative maps of the brain indicative of a plurality of qMRI parameters of the subject, (d) constructing a plurality of magnetic resonance images indicative of white matter structure from the quantitative maps, and (e) rendering a white matter fibrogram of the brain of the subject from the plurality of magnetic resonance images.
