## Abstract ## Purpose To examine the spoiled steadyโstate (spoiled gradientโrecalled echo sequence [SPGR]) signal arising from twoโcompartment systems and the role of experimental parameters, in particular TR for resolving signal from each compartment. ## Materials and Methods Using BlochโMcCon
The effects of water loss on the T 1 and T 2 \* of bovine cortical bone were investigated using ultrashort echo time sequences with signals excited either by a short hard pulse or by two longer half pulses. Nine bovine femur samples were prepared and sequentially air-and oven-dried. On average 3.42%
## Abstract T1 and T2 relaxation times of agar phantoms containing Lโdopa 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
