Determination of saturation factors in 31P NMR spectra of the developing human brain
Abstract
In order to assess the influence of longitudinal relaxation on previously reported variations in 31P NMR signals during brain development, we used an accelerated two-point technique to determine T1 at 2.35 Tesla in 8 min. Comparison between 10 normal neonates (age range 37-46 weeks postconception) and 10 healthy infants (age range 80-157 weeks postconception) indicated that T1 does not vary substantially during the first year of life, except in …
