Relaxation times Mapping Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques have been used to determine the spin-lattice, T1, and the spin-spin, T2, relaxation times in three phantoms with compositions simulating the T1 and T2 values of human tissues. Some methods of analysis were used in order to obtain the relaxation time maps. It has been shown that reliable results can be also obtained by using approximating methods of interest for clinical applications.
