Abstract EN
We investigated T 1 relaxations of ex-vivo cancer tissues at low magnetic fields in order to check the possibility of achieving a T 1 contrast higher than those obtained at high fields.
The T 1 relaxations of fifteen pairs (normal and cancerous) of breast tissue samples were measured at three magnetic fields, 37, 62, and 122 μT, using our superconducting quantum interference device-based ultralow field nuclear magnetic resonance setup, optimally developed for ex-vivo tissue studies.
A signal reconstruction based on Bayesian statistics for noise reduction was exploited to overcome the low signal-to-noise ratio.
The ductal and lobular-type tissues did not exhibit meaningful T 1 contrast values between normal and cancerous tissues at the three different fields.
On the other hand, an enhanced T 1 contrast was obtained for the mucinous cancer tissue.
