The study of chemical exchange processes is one of the oldest and still most vigorously
investigated topics in NMR spectroscopy. The effects of chemical exchange on the NMR …

In this article, both sodium magnetic resonance (MR) and T1ρ relaxation map** aimed at
measuring molecular changes in cartilage for the diagnostic imaging of osteoarthritis are …

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) and spin‐locking (SL) experiments were
both able to probe the exchange process between protons of nonequivalent chemical …

T 1ρ relaxation time provides a new contrast mechanism that differs from T 1-and T 2-
weighted contrast, and is useful to study low-frequency motional processes and chemical …

The origin of spin locking image artifacts in the presence of B0 and B1 magnetic field
imperfections is shown theoretically using the Bloch equations and experimentally at low …

Dedicated to the memory of Professor NE Alexandrou, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki,
Greece and Dr. M. Momenteau, Institute Curie, Section de Biologie, URA 1387, Orsay …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the direct visualization of the human
musculoskeletal (MSK) system, especially all diarthrodial tissues including cartilage, bone …

Abstract 17O is the only stable oxygen isotope that can be detected by NMR. The
quadrupolar moment of 17O spin (I= 5/2) can interact with local electric field gradients …

Exposure of tumours to anti‐cancer drugs, gene or radiation therapy consistently leads to an
increase in water diffusion in the cases expressing favourable treatment response. The …
