Editor's Notes
- THIS IS THE
- Transverse relaxation is also called Spin-Spin relaxation. The speed of rotation is influenced by the neighbouring protons. Compare with walking in a shopping mall on a Saturday afternoon. While walking you have to change your speed and direction constantly to avoid collisions whith other shoppers. The only difference is that protons do collide.
- When we look at one single proton, we can see that it makes one 360 degree rotation in a certain time...
- ...
- ... But in the same time the red proton has covered more than 360 degrees, and the blue proton less.
- After the next rotation these differences are bigger.
- ..and bigger
- ...
- Back to the first rotation and look at the signals that belong to the protons..
- ...
- ...
- ...
- ...
- Now we add the summed signal, and you can see that the signal is getting weaker the more the protons are pointing in different directions.
- ...
- ...
- ...
- The signal shift relative to each other, cancelling each other out. This is called dephasing.
- The signal that is generated after the 90 degree pulse is called FID or T2*.
- And is different for the various tissues. The time untill 63% of the signal has ´´died´´ is called the T2 time.
- And is different for the various tissues. The time untill 63% of the signal has ´´died´´ is called the T2 time.
- At the dawn of MR this signal could not be measured, because the hardware did not allow the fast switching. So we had to find a trick to overcome this problem.
- For that we need the help of the transmit coil again.
- When we transmit a signal for so long time that the protons are flipped over 180 degrees, look what happens..
- ...
- ...
- ...
- ...
- ...
- The slow protons will be overtaken by the faster ones, thus generating a new strong signal.
- ...
- ...
- ...
- In other words. The signal is restored with the help of a 180 degree pulse, resulting in a strong echo.
- Thats why we call it a refocussing pulse.
- As you saw, after the rephasing of the protons they will dephase again. And again we can apply a 180 degree pulse in order to rephase them, resuting in new signal or echo...
- The curve that we can draw through the tops of the echos is called the T2-envelope.
