Abstract
The estimation of parameters in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) dates back to shortly after the discovery of the NMR phenomenon itself. Parameter estimation has been used extensively in NMR spectroscopy, largely for the determination of the longitudinal relaxation time, T1. Since the advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the early 1980s, parameter estimation has been extended to in vivo applications. NMR parameters have been proven useful in a variety of applications, including optimization of NMR pulse sequences, understanding of the contrast mechanisms in MRI, and identification of some normal and disease processes.
