## Abstract Although no ionizing radiation is involved, patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are exposed to powerful static magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radioβfrequency fields that may be potentially damaging. Our study aims to document the effect of MRI imaging se

Lung ventilation imaging using inhaled oxygen as a contrast medium was performed using both a 0.2 and a 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance (MR) scanner in eight volunteers. Signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs) of the ventilation images as well as T1 values of the lung acquired with inhalation of 100% oxygen
## Abstract T1 and T2 relaxation times of agar phantoms containing Lβdopa melanin and Fe^3+^ were measured under MRI conditions. Fe^3+^ shortened T1 and T2 relaxation times. Melanin influenced relaxation times only in the presence of Fe^3+^; thus, contrast in MR images of the basal ganglia may depe
