Abstract

The characterization of cancerous livers in rats using nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging (NMR/MRI) based on high-T_c superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) is presented. The _T1_-1 were observed to be 6.5±0.5 s-1 for controlled livers and 2.85±0.2 s-1 for cancerous livers, which indicate that the T₁ can be used to distinguish the cancerous tissues from controlled liver tissues. The intensity ratio for tap water, cancerous tissue, and controlled tissue, respectively, is 1:1.15:0.56 at TBp =1 s. The SQUID-detected NMR/MRI exhibits potential applications in research and clinics.
