✦ Synopsis

Reproducible and accurate T2 measurements are required for the characterization of myocardial tissue, e. g. to distinguish healthy, scar and edematous myocardium. It is the objective of this study to investigate the impact of the fitting algorithm applied for the T2 quantification from data derived from a single-breathhold T2-prepared steady-state free precession (T2p-SSFP) imaging technique.

IP NMR spin-lattice (TI) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times of phosphocreatine, ATP, inorganic phosphate, and phosphomonoesters have been measured in vivo at 4.1 T in rat brain and rat brain tumors implanted on nude mice. The relaxation data were acquired using a phase-cycled saturation-recovery sp
