摘要
The water contents of phantoms and muscle tissues were determined directly from NMR imaging experiments. The method involves the calculation of corrected proton densities using relaxation time determinations and suitable calibration phantoms. Comparison with the values obtained from the oven-dry method yields good agreement in normal rat skeletal tissue and in rats injected with red blood cells from sickle cell patients.
