Abstract:
Voxel-based relaxometry (VBR) is a novel morphometric method that analyses the relaxation rate R2 derived from multi-echo T2-weighted images on a voxel-by-voxel basis. We used VBR to study the brain morphology of 14 patients suffering from multiple-system atrophy of cerebellar type (MSA-C) and compared the results with those obtained by voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of T1-weighted images. VBR analysis revealed reduction of relaxation rate R2 in the cerebellum and brainstem reflecting infratentorial brain atrophy. The affected regions largely corresponded to those regions in which VBM showed reductions of grey and white matter. In addition, R2 was increased in the putamen, a region in which VBM did not show abnormalities. Our data show that the combination of VBR and VBM provided convergent and complimentary information about the brain morphology of MSA-C.

Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
