the brain, cell by cell

MRmicro derives quantitative maps of axonal density, neurite geometry and gray-matter cytoarchitecture — biomarkers sensitive to MS, dementia and traumatic injury, more specific than conventional MRI.

Application
MRmicro
Brain microstructure
Biomarkers

MRmicro turns clinical diffusion MRI into quantitative brain microstructure maps, supporting assessment of axonal integrity, cortical tissue composition and disease-related change in neurological workflows.

Brain microstructure

cell-body fraction

Cortical microstructure at millimetre scale, designed to read cell-body density on clinical 3T acquisitions. Sensitive to early neurodegeneration and cortical dysplasia.

intra-neurite fraction

Voxel-wise integrity of axons and dendrites across white matter. Picks up demyelination in tissue that still looks normal on FLAIR and tracks EDSS progression in MS.

extra-cellular fraction

Free water and interstitial space between cells. Rises with edema, neuroinflammation and tissue rarefaction, making it an early marker of neurodegeneration.
