Table 2.

A comparison of T2* contributions at 1.5 T and 6.5 mT, along with the typical total value of T2*. A value of T2 = 10 s is used in both cases [57], while T2,in ~ 0.143 s is used for the 1.5 T case [41]. 3He T2* is based on our measured ΔB0 ≃ 0.04 G. Inverse values (relaxation rates) are given in square brackets.
