โœฆ Synopsis

A major factor contributing to proton (1H) spin-lattice relaxation in biological tissues is believed to be magnetization transfer between 1H in free bulk water and 1H restricted motion associated with macromolecules. We have shown recently that saturation transfer is an effective approach for studying this magnetization transfer process. Herein the determination of magnetization transfer rates in biological tissues is further analyzed by considering the time and power dependencies of saturation transfer. Following these analyses, quantitative magnetization transfer rate constant image maps were collected from the kidney in vivo. These rate constant images may prove useful in quantitative tissue characterization and in the determination of tissue-specific 1H relaxation mechanisms.

## Abstract The previously reported concept for quantitative magnetization transfer (MT) imaging using balanced steadyโ€state free precession (SSFP) is applied to nonbalanced SSFP sequences. This offers the possibility to derive quantitative MT parameters of targets with highโ€susceptibility variatio

## Abstract It is generally accepted that signal formation in balanced steadyโ€state free precession (bSSFP) is a simple function of relaxation times and flip angle only. This can be confirmed for fluids, but for more complex substances, magnetization transfer (MT) can lead to a considerable loss of
