Abstract
A method for relaxation time determination includes delivering a series of radio frequency (RF) pulses in a sequence to a specimen having a magnetic resonance spin system. The pulses are separated by equal time intervals and the sequence has a duration comparable or greater than a spin-lattice relaxation time for the spin system. The method includes receiving a response after each RF pulse in the series. The response includes a free induction decay and spin echoes. The method includes generating a series of single point imaging (SPI) images from each response. Each SPI image of the series corresponds to an RF pulse in the series. The method includes converting SPI images to a spin-spin relaxation map and a spin-lattice relaxation map.
