Foundations of RSI – Nuclear Volume Fraction; (A) The inherent T2 signal of the cytoplasm and nucleus differ substantially (B) Increasing nuclear volume fraction (NVF) results in a corresponding increase in effective T2. As the nucleus and cytoplasm exhibit similar diffusion properties, this change in effective T2 can be measured and used to calculate NVF.
