[Initial clinical results of tissue characterization by T1, T2 and proton density in nuclear magnetic resonance tomography].
The NMR parameters (proton density, relaxation times T1 and T2) have been assessed by Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) spin echo sequences. A computer assisted analysis of the data of 21 patients with cerebral tumours allowed a classification of tumour tissue in different tumours. The use of quantitative procedures for tissue characterisation allows the differentiation of benign and malignant brain tissue by characteristic colour coding demonstrating morphological details like tumour, edema and necrosis as well as indicating the histological types of the tumours of the central nervous system.
