Objective: To report T/T-values of normal and normal appearing brain tissues (NBTs, healthy volunteers; NABTs, patients) acquired with a whole-brain 5-minute Magnetic Resonance Spin TomogrAphy in Time-domain (MR-STAT) protocol, and to explore relaxometry behavior in a brain tumor and in a multiple sclerosis patient.

Methods: MR-STAT was acquired in 49 participants (39 patients with neurological pathologies, age range: 21-79 years) at 3 T. Mean T/T-values were computed for: normal and normal appearing grey matter (NGM/NAGM)/white matter (NWM/NAWM)/thalamus/putamen/caudate nucleus (CN)/globus pallidus (GP).

Background: Learning healthcare communities (LHCCs) have been proposed as a next-generation evolution of learning health systems that can advance health equity; however, a practical mechanism for enabling the active and continuous community engagement required for one has not yet been described in the literature. Recognizing that community-based participatory research (CBPR) could potentially meet this need, a team at the Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine designed a novel evidence-based CBPR model - Bridging Research, Accurate Information and Dialogue (BRAID) - that initiates meaningful, longitudinal dialogues to foster bidirectional trust between researchers, clinicians, scientists and communities.

Methods: A mixed-methods cohort study of two BRAID cohorts was conducted between 2022 and 2023.
