BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: As yet, there are no in vivo data on tissue water changes
and associated morphometric changes involved in the osmo-adaptation of normal brains …

Purpose To determine whether differences in hydration state, which could arise from routine
clinical procedures such as overnight fasting, affect brain total water content (TWC) and …

Dehydration can affect the volume of brain structures, which might imply a confound in
volumetric and morphometric studies of normal or diseased brain. Six young, healthy …

Dehydration can affect brain structure which has important implications for human health. In
this study, we measured regional changes in brain structure following acute dehydration …

Water content is the dominant chemical compound in the brain and it is the primary
determinant of tissue contrast in magnetic resonance (MR) images. Water content varies …

Brain volume change measured from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a widely
used and useful in vivo measure of irreversible tissue loss. These measurements, however …

Object. The authors present a quantitative in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging method
and propose its use for the accurate assessment of brain water in humans. Methods. With …

It was recently observed that dehydration causes shrinkage of brain tissue and an
associated increase in ventricular volume. Negative effects of dehydration on cognitive …

Hypohydration exceeding 2% body mass can impair endurance capacity. It is postulated that
the brain could be perturbed by hypohydration, leading to impaired motor performance. We …

Methods for quantitative imaging of the brain are presented and compared. Highly precise
and accurate mapping of the absolute water content and distribution, as presented here …
