Vengono descritti i parametri che influenzano l'intensità del segnale nella RMN ad immagini.
I tempi di rilassamento T1 e T2 e la densità protonica vengono descritti come parametri tissutali e vengono esaminate le possibiltà di influenzare tali parametri mediante ioni, complessi e gas paramagnetici.
