Intermolecular cross-relaxation rate (CR) spectra [1/T(IS) (HDO) or 1/T(IS) (H(2) O) vs f(2) (ppm) profiles] for bovine serum albumin [BSA; molecular weight (MW), 66 kDa] solution, partially hydrolyzed BSA gel (BSA*gel) and packed human red blood cells (RBCs) with normal or unstable hemoglobin (Hb; MW, 65 kDa) were studied using f(2) irradiation ranging from - 100 to 100 ppm at γH(2) /2π of 250 Hz. The CR spectra for BSA*gel (pD 4.01, 0.

Saturation transfer in cross-linked copolymer gels and excised intact and perforating trauma-induced cataract mouse lenses (4- or 8-week-old) were studied using intermolecular cross-relaxation rates (1/T(IS)(H(2)O); 1/T(IS)), monitored with f(2)-irradiation at -8.79, -4.00, and 7.

Article Synopsis
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is crucial for detecting breast cancer spread to lymph nodes, but false negatives are a concern.
  • Equivalent cross-relaxation rate imaging (ECRI) can assess lymph node structure changes via MRI and may help improve SLNB accuracy by distinguishing between metastasized and non-metastasized regions.
  • ECRI findings indicated that non-metastatic regions had higher ECR values compared to metastatic ones, suggesting it could enhance the effectiveness of SLNB.
