Abstract

Measurements of the spin-lattice relaxation times ( T 1) and spin-spin relaxation times ( T 2) of the hydrogen atoms of water molecules in the myocardium of the rat have been made. Both T 1 and T 2 for water molecules in the myocardium are shorter than those for pure water. The dramatic shortening of relaxation times suggests that the water molecules within the myocardial tissue significantly interact with cellular macromolecules.
