Abstract:Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging is a magnetic resonance imaging technique that generates contrast dependent upon the phenomenon of magnetization exchange between semi-solid macromolecular protons and water protons. This technique has the ability to indirectly image semi-solids, such as protein matrices and cell membranes, whose magnetization dies away too quickly to be imaged directly based on relaxation properties of water interacting with the semisolid lipid protons. Preliminary results suggest that MT q… Show more
