Data for: High-resolution magnetization-transfer imaging of post-mortem marmoset brain & comparisons with relaxometry and histology

Pre-processed MRI and histology data and derived quantitative magnetization-transfer (qMT) and relaxometry parameter maps of fixed marmoset brain. Cell membranes and macromolecules or paramagnetic compounds interact with water proton spins, which modulates magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast providing information on tissue composition. qMT parameters recorded at 3T, including the ratio of the macromolecular and water proton pools, F, and the exchange-rate constant as well as the (observed) longitudinal and the effective transverse relaxation rates (at 3T and 7T), R1obs and R2* , respectively, were measured at high spatial resolution (200 μm) in a slice of fixed marmoset brain and compared to histology results obtained with Gallyas’ myelin stain and Perls’ iron stain.
