Accurate T2 NMR images

We present a method for producing accurate calculated T2 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images. A modified Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill pulse sequence is used to obtain a series of images with progressive T2 dependence. This image series is then analyzed pixel by pixel to generate a T2 and initial si...

Description
Summary:	We present a method for producing accurate calculated T2 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images. A modified Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill pulse sequence is used to obtain a series of images with progressive T2 dependence. This image series is then analyzed pixel by pixel to generate a T2 and initial signal strength image. Tests performed using four samples of known T2 indicate accuracies of better than 9%.
