Abstract
This study presents a two-dimensional NMR pulse sequence for obtaining spatially resolved correlations between magnetic susceptibility induced internal gradients (G0), and both the apparent difference in magnetic susceptibility (Δχapp) and spectral frequency (Δν). G0-Δχapp correlations were utilized to generate spatially resolved pore size distributions, while the G0-Δν correlations were used to additionally evaluate sample heterogeneity. The spatially resolved measurements were performed on a water saturated heterogeneous porous sample which contains one layer of 5-50 μm glass spheres (top layer) and one layer of 140-165 μm glass spheres (bottom layer). The slice selection was validated by applying the pulse sequence on a liquid mineral oil and water sample as well as on the porous sample. The resulting spatially resolved pore size distributions show very good agreement with results from our previously published non slice selective pulse sequence in the 140-165 μm glass spheres and good agreement in the 5-50 μm glass spheres. The G0-Δν correlations correctly indicate a slightly higher degree of heterogeneity in the 5-50 μm glass spheres compared to the 140-165 μm glass spheres.
