Measurement of magnetic susceptibility and MR contrast agent concentration.
This paper describes an MR imaging method for determining magnetic susceptibility constants of solutions containing paramagnetic contrast agents. The method's validity is demonstrated on Gd(DTPA) and Dy(DTPA) water solutions. The method can be used for measurement of the volume magnetic susceptibility or concentration of contrast agents in biological tissues.
