  • Automated estimation of T1 and T2 relaxation times
    Patent number: 4694252
    Abstract: A method of calculating the intrinsic parameters including the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 and the spin-spin relaxation time T2 for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique which utilizes calculations of derived algorithms by a series of passthroughs of a digital video processor. The use of a digital video processor to accomplish the algorithm construction provides a significant increase in the speed with which the intrinsic parameters can be calculated.
