The effect of induced field inhomogeneity (IFI) on transverse NMR relaxation of water protons in tissue has been investigated by examining the field dependence of the effective transverse relaxation rates (1/T2 efF) for in vitro canine brain tissue samples. At fields of 0.47, 2.35, 7.05 T (correspon

The NMR relaxation times T i , T2, and TI were measured in isolated rat lungs as functions of external magnetic field Bo, temperature, and lung inflation. The observed linear dependence on Bo of the tissue-induced free induction decay rate (Tb)-' provides independent confirmation of the air/water in
Differences in the tissue properties of water are the basis for the detailed anatomic visualization of internal body structures produced by NMR imaging. Physiological and pathological events have the potential to alter proton nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation properties through changes in water
