[Abstract] Magnetization transfer imaging is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging techniques, not only can be used to increase tissue contrast, but also quantitatively analyze tissue characteristics. A large number of studies have shown that MTI can be a sensitive tool for detecting microscopic pathological changes of nervous system diseases. Recently, MTI studies have been gradually increasing in nervous system diseases. In order to better understand pathophysiological mechanism of nervous system diseases, we reviewed clinical application and current stadus of MTI in nervous system diseases.
