TLDR
Awareness of the field strength and solvent associated with relaxivity data is crucial for the comparison and evaluation of relaxivity values and should be replaced by relaxivities measured at 1.5 T and at 3 T in plasma at physiological temperature.
Abstract
Rationale and Objectives:To characterize and compare commercially available contrast media (CM) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in terms of their relaxivity at magnetic field strengths ranging from 0.47 T to 4.7 T at physiological temperatures in water and in plasma. Relaxivities also were quan

Proton Relaxation Times in Paramagnetic Solutions. Effects of Electron Spin Relaxation

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the distortion of the hydrated complex by collisions with other water molecules is responsible for the decrease in T2 in Mn++ (and other) solutions in very high magnetic fields.

Proton Relaxation Times in Paramagnetic Solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, an exchange interaction between the electron spin and proton spin in adjacent water molecules in paramagnetic solutions was proposed, and an explanation was given why T1/T2 for protons is much larger than unity in solutions of these particular ions in high magnetic fields, whereas T1 is about equal to T2 in other solutions or in low fields.
