An attempt to explain the nonexponential recovery of the water proton spin magnetization in tissues is presented. The origin of this effect is the nonhomogeneity of the material and the distribution of slow diffusion correlation times. This proposal is based on a dispersion study of the tissue water proton spin relaxation time in the rotating frame.
