The cardiovascular system can be monitored and its functionality assessed with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. New techniques for CMR imaging have been developed in recent years.

An 85 year-old man presented with a headache, word finding problems and a right visual field loss. Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: (Left) T1-weighted axial MRI; (Right) T2-weighted axial MRI. Note ...

In this video Paul Callaghan from Magritek, shows how to measure T1 and T2 relaxation. There are two types of relaxation spin relaxation and longitudinal relaxation. In Terranova apparatus Paul looks ...

On the other hand, transverse relaxation time or T2 is the time constant that measures the time taken by excited hydrogen atoms to either reach equilibrium or go out of the phase (dephasing).
