title: [Radiation absorption and proton relaxation times of the liver in vitro following carbon tetrachloride poisoning].
abstract: In 57 rats the radiation absorption or proton relaxation times were determined in vitro after single carbon tetrachloride poisoning. The inflammatory changes induced by CCl4 result in marked water absorption and moderate of fat. Histologically, there are cell necroses, toxic swellings of cells, regenerating cells rich in water content, and fatty vacuoles. These phenomena result in a reduction of radiation absorption due to the increased water and fat accumulation. Prolongation of both relaxation times is mainly due to water absorption.
