Abstract
Acquisition of relaxation rate dispersion curves from magnetic resonance images was demonstrated on a clinical, whole-body imaging system. Study of the behavior of relaxation rates over a range of field strengths probes the structural environment of imaged hydrogen protons and reveals information about the composition of tissue. The authors determined relaxation rates in extremities and heads of healthy volunteers. The sensitivity of the measurement is sufficient to obtain a distinctive relaxation rate dispersion behavior for different tissues.
