Table 1.

Calculated baseline T1 and T2 and relaxivities R1 and R2. Values calculated as described in Section 2, and compared to estimates from Su et al. [10]. There is excellent agreement between our results and those of Su et al., suggesting a linear relationship between relaxivity and gadolinium concentration.

T (ms)	R(ms−1 mM−1)	R*(ms−1 mM−1)
T1 0 = 1480	R1 = 0.0055	R1 = 0.0053
T2 0 = 195	R2 = 0.0069	R2 = 0.0068
