Dipolar Contrast for Dense Tissues Imaging

A new type of contrast called dipolar contrast is obtained by a decrease in the dipolar line broadening of protons. This contrast is usable for dense tissue NMR imaging and more generally for the study of dipolar linked protons in biological tissues. The sequence used is based on a variant of the Ma...

Description
Summary:A new type of contrast called dipolar contrast is obtained by a decrease in the dipolar line broadening of protons. This contrast is usable for dense tissue NMR imaging and more generally for the study of dipolar linked protons in biological tissues. The sequence used is based on a variant of the Magic Sandwich Echoes (MSE) technique. In vitro experiments on a tendon sample are used to reinforce the image intensity of regions where the direct proton dipolar interaction exists.
