  • Method and apparatus for shortening T1 or T2, or lengthening the ADC of a substance by the use of electric current
    Patent number: 6624632
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for obtaining magnetic resonance data from water-containing substance, nuclear spins are excited in the substance in the presence of a homogenous static magnetic field, while an electrical current is flowing in the subject. The electrical current flowing in the subject shortens the spin-spin relaxation time and the spin-lattice relaxation time, and lengthens the apparent diffusion coefficient of the substance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 23, 2003
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Norio Iriguchi, Masaki Sekino, Shoogo Ueno, Kikuo Yamaguchi
