Question

What is T1 Relaxation time?

• A. Spin-Lattice relaxation
• B. Spin-Spin relaxation
• C. Spin-recovery relaxation
• D. Spin-echo relaxation

Hint:

In MRI, T1 relaxation describes the recovery of magnetization, which is crucial for imaging tissue characteristics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- T1 Relaxation time, also known as longitudinal relaxation, refers to the process where the magnetization of spins recovers along the longitudinal axis after being disturbed by a magnetic pulse. This process is also known as Spin-Lattice relaxation.
- The other options refer to different aspects of spin behavior or signal decay in MRI but are not related to T1 relaxation.

Conclusion: T1 relaxation time refers to Spin-Lattice relaxation, making option (a) the correct answer.
