MAGNETIC RESONANCE PROTON RELAXATION OF THE HUMAN FINGER
Magnetic resonance proton relaxation of the human finger is researched in this study with the help of a NMR-relaxometer worked out specially for this purpose. There is established correlation of spin-lattice relaxation time with the concentration of glucose in blood. There are given experimental data of measurements of changes in T1 and glucose concentration in the blood of patients over the twenty four hours respectively. There is proposed a model explaining the results of measurements, the basis being a mechanism of oxygen concentration decrease in the tissue during glucose oxidation.
