What Does MTC Stand For?
MTC stands for Magnetization Transfer Contrast
Magnetization Transfer Contrast (MTC) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that enhances the visualization of certain tissues by utilizing the transfer of magnetization between different molecular pools, such as macromolecules and free water. By selectively saturating the magnetization of macromolecular protons, MTC improves the contrast of images, aiding in the differentiation of pathological conditions and enhancing tissue characterization in various clinical scenarios, particularly in neurological and oncological applications.
