Relaxation along a fictitious field (RAFF) and Z-spectroscopy using alternating-phase irradiation (ZAPI) in permanent focal cerebral ischemia in rat.

Cerebral ischemia alters the molecular dynamics and content of water in brain tissue, which is reflected in NMR relaxation, diffusion and magnetization transfer (MT) parameters. In this study, the behavior of two new MRI contrasts, Relaxation Along a Fictitious Field (RAFF) and Z-spectroscopy using...
