สรุป	Magnetisation Transfer Ratio (MTR) is an MRI method that measures the exchange of magnetization between free water protons and protons bound to macromolecules (primarily myelin lipids and proteins). Introduced by Wolff and Balaban in 1989, MTR reflects tissue macromolecular content and is particularly sensitive to myelination, providing a non-invasive estimate of myelin density.	Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) is an advanced diffusion MRI technique that quantifies non-Gaussian diffusion of water molecules, providing detailed information about tissue microstructure beyond conventional diffusion tensor imaging. Introduced by Jensen and colleagues in 2005, DKI detects deviations from normal Gaussian diffusion, revealing information about cellular compartmentalization and fiber heterogeneity.	Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) is a biophysical diffusion MRI model that quantifies microstructural properties of white matter: neurite density (axonal density), orientation dispersion (fiber coherence), and isotropic diffusion (free water or cerebrospinal fluid). Introduced by Zhang and colleagues in 2012, NODDI provides biologically interpretable metrics directly linking diffusion MRI signals to tissue microstructure.
