A 90 degrees-tau 1-90 degrees-tau 2-image acquisition pulse sequence allows spatial mapping of resonant frequency. This sort of sequence has previously been used for magnet shimming, and its use in chemical-shift imaging has been proposed. The authors used this sequence in magnetic resonance imaging of a phantom to demonstrate the magnetic field gradients arising from susceptibility differences within the phantom and allow those gradients to be measured. Gradients may arise near interfaces between substances that cannot support the same magnetic flux density. The pulse sequence was found to work well in lower-field-strength instruments.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
