I have a serious problem with this page. NMR relaxation is a very broad phenomena (and very complicated), which has very different characteristics depending on the exact physical conditions where it occurs. I feel this page consideres only one specific case. For instance T2 (in contrast to T1) is much MORE dependant on the magnetic field in solution NMR on large molecules and in the case of small molecules they are nearely the same. NMR relaxation is an important issue in all applications of NMR (not just MRI). I think this page gives a very misleading picture of NMR relaxation, without explainig what NMR relaxation is. I would like to correct this page but, I know very little about NMR relaxation in the solid state or about the use of the concept in MR Imaging, so I would be gratefull for some feedback. -- Flogiston

  • You forgot to sign your name. :) I am currently a student with a major in MRI, and still know very little about the whole picture of it, not to mention NMR in a standard chemistry sense. What I put on is to summarize some info about the relaxation I've learned these 2 plus years, since there were no more detailed info about this in Wikipedia as far as I knew. This page is not complete in my opinion. You can still make this page better by sharing your knowledge about it. --KasugaHuang 06:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
