Abstract
This paper describes an MR imaging method for determining magnetic sus ceptibility constants of solutions containing paramagnetic contrast ag ents. The method's validity is demonstrated on Gd(DTPA) and Dy(DTPA) w ater solutions. The method can be used for measurement of the volume m agnetic susceptibility or concentration of contrast agents in biologic al tissues.
