The sonographic appearance of a hematoma may be affected by various factors, including the age of the hematoma. The effect of mechanical motion on the echogenicity and histologic appearance, and on the proton relaxation times T1 and T2 of blood clots, was studied in vitro for up to 21 days. All clots were of similar echogenicity and microscopic appearance during the first 2 days. The minimally disturbed clots were sonolucent from day 4 onwards, whereas moderate mechanical disturbance changed the microscopic structure of the blood clots and caused them to retain their echogenicity. Proton relaxation times T1 and T2 of both minimally disturbed and vigorously manipulated blood samples showed a rapid shortening of T1 and a less marked decrease of T2 between days 1 and 4, which was independent of mechanical motion. The ultrasonic appearance reflected the histologic appearance but not necessarily the age of the clot. The magnetic resonance (MR) parameters T1 and to a lesser extent T2 accurately reflected the age of the clot during the first 6 days. Although relatively gentle motion caused a large change in the ultrasonic appearance of the clots, vigorous shaking did not affect the magnetic resonance appearance of human blood clots.

The short proton relaxation times in the MR images of malignant melanomas make them different from most other tumors. We have previously shown that the T1 and T2 signals may be significantly influenced when the water distribution of the tumor is changed in vivo and in vitro. In the present work T1 and T2 were estimated and compared with the electron microscopy picture in subcutaneously implanted B16 melanomas in mice. Two hours after the mice were given an i.p. injection of 0.9% NaCl containing 10% glucose and 10% fructose (9 mice) both the T2 components were markedly and the T1 slightly prolonged. At the same time the electron microscopy picture displayed swelling of the melanocytes together with a marked decrease in number and size of their mitochondriae. There were no changes in the MR image or the melanocyte structure in control mice injected with 0.9% NaCl (9 mice) or 0.9% NaCl containing 10% fructose. It is concluded that the changed MR image may be coupled to the metabolism in melanoma.

Using spin-echo-techniques the temperature dependence of the proton magnetic relaxation times T1 and T2 of adsorbed benzene has been measured in the interval between +70 °C and —140 °C. Normal benzene C6H6 and mixtures of benzene and C6D6e were adsorbed on two sorts of silicagels which have been described elsewhere 4,9.The effective nuclear magnetic relaxation rates of adsorbed benzene are given by four contributions: the intramolecular proton-proton interaction, the interaction between benzene protons and paramagnetic impurities of the adsorbents, the interaction between benzene protons and hydroxyl protons on the silicagel surface, and the intermolecular interaction between benzene protons. These proton relaxation mechanisms depend differently on the H/D-ratio in C6H6—C6D6 mixtures (see section 4.1).The temperature dependence of the contributions 1/T1 intra and 1/T2 intra due to intramolecular proton-proton interaction suggests an anisotropic rotation of benzene molecules on the gel used. Furthermore, the existence of three different regions for the adsorbed benzene molecules has been inferred (see sections 4.2 and 5).

ABSTRACT1H NMR has been employed to study the local environments of bonded hydrogen and trapped molecular hydrogen (H2) in a series of a-Si1−xGex:H alloys. There is a monotonic decrease of bonded hydrogen with increasing x from ≈ 10 at. % at x = 0 (a-Si:H) to ≈ 1 at. % at x = 1 (a-Ge:H). The amplitude of the broad 1H NMR line, which is attributed to clustered bonded hydrogen, decreases continuously across the system. The amplitude of the narrow 1H NMR line, which is attributed to bonded hydrogen essentially randomly distributed in the films, decreases as x increases from 0 to ≈ 0.2. From x = 0.2 to x ≈ 0.6 the amplitude of the narrow 1H NMR line is essentially constant, and for x ≥ 0.6 the amplitude decreases once again. The existence of trapped H2 molecules is inferred indirectly by their influence on the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation times, T1. Through T1, measurements it is determined that the trapped H2 concentration drops precipitously between x = 0.1 and x = 0.2, but is fairly constant for 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.6. For a-Si:H (x = 0) the H2 concentration is ≈ 0.1 at. %, while for x ≥ 0.2 the concentration of H2 is ≤ 0.02 at. %.
