Abstract

T2 was measured in samples of human blood and monkey brain over a field range of 0.02–1.5 Tesla, with variable interecho times, and was compared with previous data on ferritin solutions (taken with the same apparatus). 1/T2 in deoxygenated blood increased quadratically with field strength, as noted previously, but in brain gray matter the increase was linear, as also was the case in ferritin solution. In both deoxygenated blood and gray matter, 1/T2 increased with interecho time, but appeared to level off at times around 50 msec, as expected from the theory of diffusion through magnetic gradients. Diffusion times estimated by using the chemical exchange approximation were 3.4 msec for deoxygenated blood and 5.7 msec for the globus pallidus. The quadratic field dependence in blood is consistent with this same theory, but the linear dependence in brain tissue and in ferritin solutions remains unexplained.

The effects of intracellular pH (pH(i)), paramagnetic macroscopic, and microscopic susceptibility on T(1) in the rotating frame (T(1rho)) were studied in rat brain. Intracellular acidosis was induced by hypercapnia and pH(i), T(1rho), T(2), diffusion, and cerebral blood volume (CBV) were quantified.

## Abstract Differences in proton MRS __T__~2~ values for phosphocreatine (PCr) and creatine (Cr) methyl groups (3.0 ppm) were investigated in studies of phantoms and human brain. Results from phantom studies revealed that __T__~2~ of PCr in solution is significantly shorter than __T__~2~ of Cr. Cu

Putative changes of metabolite T2 relaxation times were investigated before and after a 20-min period of global ischemia in rat brain in vivo (n = 10) using localized proton MRS at different echo times (2.35 T). Neither absolute T2 relaxation times (TE = 20-270 ms) nor time courses of T2-weighted me
