Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) offers great potential for improved assessment of cerebral pathologies. While qMRI is already widely used in clinical research, there are several obstacles for widespread clinical applications. Within the scope of this thesis, structural qMRI techniques were optimized and validated for medical diagnosis. Furthermore, qMRI measures were evaluated in healthy and pathological brain tissue, and recommendations were given concerning standardization and refinement of qMRI. Overall, this work was able to overcome many obstacles of clinical qMRI applications and promote the use of qMRI in medical diagnostics.
