Editorial for "In Vivo Measurement of Rat Brain Water Content at 9.4 T Using Super‐Resolution Reconstruction: Validation With Ex Vivo Experiments".

- Abstract
This article discusses the challenges and importance of measuring brain water content (WC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). WC can provide valuable information about the genesis and progression of diseases, but quantifying it accurately is difficult due to various confounding factors. The authors of the study used a 9.4T preclinical MRI scanner to estimate WC in different regions of the rat brain and compared the results to the gold standard method of evaluating WC in ex vivo tissue. They employed correction methods to address measurement confounding factors and applied super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) to achieve high spatial resolution WC maps. The study demonstrates the potential of WC mapping for clinical applications, but further research is needed.
