Abstract
Human brain white matter exhibits an uncommonly strong dispersion of 1/T1 at high fields. An additional relaxation pathway via the myelin lipids, which are not directly visible to medical NMR due to their fast T2 decay, is proposed. Relaxation dispersion data are successfully analyzed on the basis of this model. © 1989 Academic Press, Inc.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
