## Abstract Saline solutions are commonly employed as a vehicle for drugs administered intramuscularly. In this study, in vivo measurements of spinโspin relaxation (__T__~2~) processes by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed to investigate the distribution of water in rat masseter muscle
