Paramagnetism superparamagnetism

The magnetic susceptibility relaxation is usually more important for than for Ti. In fact, this mechanism is often dominant in determining the proton linewidth in paramagnetic proteins at high magnetic fields (3). Gillis and co-workers have recently developed a theory for the related case of proton linewidth in colloidal solutions of so-called superparamagnetic particles (54,55). 

After the advent of MR systems with powerful gradient hardware, dynamic scans with a repetition rate of at least one image or image stack per 2 s have become possible. By use of such sequences it has become feasible to visualize the transit of a bolus of paramagnetic or superparamagnetic contrast agent through the brain (Moseley et al. 1990 Rosen et al. 1990). For DSC, the bolus is injected intravenously.
