Abstract
Disclosed are methods for quantification of a perivascular space in a subject's central nervous system. The methods include administering contrast agent into cerebrospinal fluid of the subject; performing quantitative ultra-short time-to-echo contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (QUTE-CE MRI) on a region of interest of the subject's brain; and determining presence of the contrast agent in the perivascular space within the region of interest.
