Abstract
This work presents a new method for localized T1 measurements, based u pon the OSIRIS scheme. It relies on the use of a non-selective 180-deg rees pulse applied before the OSIRIS preparation cycle. The accuracy o f the method has been verified with test tubes and in vivo for two nuc lei, H-1 and F-19. The accuracy of the T1 values is discussed, as well as possible applications of the inversion-recovery method to non-inva sive in vivo pO2 measurements.
