Measurements of diffusion, T1 and T2 in one shot by MMME

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate a rapid simultaneous measurement of diffusion constant D, T₁ and T₂ relaxation times in just two scans. Theoretical standard deviations of D, T₁ T₂ for a wide range of T₁ and T₂ were predicted for given sequences with a random experimental error of 3%. By carefully selecting of sequence parameters for samples with different relaxation times, the error propagators in T₁, T₂, and D can be modified to within 10%.
