Abstract

The introduction of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) into medicine [1] initially created hopes that this totally noninvasive imaging modality would be able to differentiate clearly between healthy and pathological tissue on the basis of T1 and T2 signals [2]. As originally conceived, however, these hopes were overly optimistic as they assumed that parameters characterizing processes on a nuclear or molecular scale could provide a sensitive and specific means of characterizing disease processes which, although ultimately based on molecular derangements, manifest themselves on a micro- and macrostructural and functional level. Thus MRI techniques geared towards elucidating these pathophysiological processes had to be developed.
