[The dependence of T1 in magnetic resonance spectroscopy on the blood serum parameters]
Abstract:
A study was made of the influence of a number of biochemical parameters of blood serum on a value of the time of spin-grid relaxation of serum water protons (T1). An increase in protein concentration as well as a decrease in the fraction of serum globulins resulted in a decrease in a T1 value, which can be accounted for within the framework of a model of rapid exchange in the "free"-"bound" water system as a result of change in the total value of a water absorbing surface. The influence of dissolved oxygen of a paramagnetic element on the relaxation of serum water protons is under discussion.

In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
