(c) T2* decay is decay of the transverse magnetization because of magnetic field inhom ogeneities (Fi). Note that all nuclei initially spin in phase (as indicated by the similar position of the red bands at the bottom of each circle), then move out of phase (with red bands in different positions). (b) T2 decay (spin-spin relaxation) is decay of the transverse magnetization because of the interaction of the individual magnetic fields of spinning nuclei. (a) T1 recovery (spin-lattice relaxation) involves recovery of the longitudinal magnetization (yellow) because of the release of energy (green) into the environment. En RM se usa el prot de H por su abundancia en el cuerpo, pero tb hay otros como el F para usarse. Ddn ser impares para que no cancelen sus cargas.
