Abstract:
Pulsed NMR studies have been undertaken on malignant lymphomas. It has been observed that water proton spin-lattice relaxation times of lymph node tissues show increase in lymphnodes of Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as compared to those in normal subjects. The T1 values of normal lymphnodes showed a range of 200-300 msec, while the metastatic lymphnodes showed a range of 400-600 msec at 20 MHz. These studies have brought out the importance of histopathological significance and the role of 'cell type' and biomolecules as a factor influencing water proton relaxation times. Further the relevance of the present in vitro studies to Magnetic Resonance Imaging of ex vivo images of normal and metastatic lymphnodes has become evident from some recent studies reported in normal and afflicted lymphnodes.

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...
