In MRI system, longitudinal relaxation time is slower than:
Show Hint
MRI Relaxation Time Inequality:
In magnetic resonance physics, $T_1$ is always significantly longer than $T_2$ ($T_1 > T_2$).
- $T_1$ (Longitudinal Spin-Lattice): Involves physical energy transfer to the surroundings $\rightarrow$ Takes more time (Slower process).
- $T_2$ (Transverse Spin-Spin): Involves simple loss of phase synchronization $\rightarrow$ Happens quickly (Faster process).
