Abstract

It is important to determine the longitudinal relaxation time of blood for black blood imaging, as well as for quantifying blood flow by arterial spin labeling (ASL). In this study a circulation system was used to measure blood T1 under physiological conditions at the new clinical field strength of 3.0T. It was found that 1/T1 in s−1 was linearly dependent (P < 0.05) on hematocrit (Hct) within a normal range of 0.38–0.46. The relationships were 1/T1 = (0.52 ± 0.15) · Hct + (0.38 ± 0.06) and 1/T1 = (0.83 ± 0.07) · Hct + (0.28 ± 0.03) for arterial (oxygenation = 92% ± 7%) and venous blood (69% ± 8%), respectively, which led to estimated T1 values of 1664 ± 14 ms (arterial) and 1584 ± 5 ms (venous) at a typical human Hct of 0.42. The temperature dependencies of blood T1 were 22.3 ± 0.6 ms/°C and 19.8 ± 0.8 ms/°C for Hct values of 0.42 and 0.38, respectively. When a head coil transmit/receive setup was used, radiation damping caused a slight reduction (19 ms) of the measured T1 values. Magn Reson Med 52:679–682, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
