Low field topical nuclear magnetism apparatus in a hospital area.
We describe the technique and the measure of the relaxation time T2 for the free precession of protons in the earth field. In vitro and in vivo experiments on human physiological fluids, including blood coagulation, are reported. We put forward the evident interest of this technique to study the meconium in the amniotic liquid and small quantities of oscite observed in situ.
