A method for the non-invasive imagin of an anatomic tissue structure in isolation from surrounding tissues, including:receiving from an input device magnetic imaging data from a patient of the anatomic tissue structure and surrounding tissues;segmenting the imaging data to isolate the anatomic tissue structure imaging data from the imaging data for the surrounding tissues;separating the anatomic tissue structure imaging data into data populations corresponding to tissue microstructures;constructing an image from the imaging data for at least one of the tissue microstructures; andstoring or displaying the image.An apparatus embodying the disclosed method is also described, as well as a method for the quantitative measurement of a nerve tissue suspected of demyelination, including the measurement of the median nerve for demyelination within a carpal tunnel.
