β¦ Synopsis
In the present study blood T(1) was determined as a function of hematocrit and oxygen saturation. T(1) showed a significant linear dependency on both of these parameters. In addition, oxygen dissolved in blood plasma in hyperoxygenated blood resulted in relaxation enhancement, comparable in size to that due to the change in oxygenation state of hemoglobin. As blood T(1) is a key factor for quantification of flow with arterial spin labeling methods, the influence of T(1) variation in the physiological range of hematocrit and oxygen saturation to flow determination is discussed.

In the presence of an off-resonance radiofrequency field, recovery of longitudinal magnetization to a steady state is not purely monoexponential. Under reasonable conditions with zero initial magnetization, recovery is nearly exponential and an effective relaxation rate constant R(1eff) = 1/T(1eff)
Apparent 31P spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured in vivo for brain phosphates in young adult, mature adult, and aged rats at 4.7 T and 35 degrees C. Statistically significant differences were found for most phosphate species, except PCr and gamma-ATP, among the three age groups, particu
