Spin‐lattice (T1) and spin‐spin (T2) relaxation times have been measured on perfused rat hearts under two experimental conditions.T1exhibits a monoexponential decay. On the other handT2has a decay with two components: a short oneT2sand a long oneT21. These facts have been discussed according to cross‐relaxation and a bicompartmen‐talization of tissue assuming a slow exchange model for spin‐spin relaxation and a fast exchange model for spin‐lattice relaxation. Increasing the osmotic pressure of the perfusion solution decreased the absolute density proton of theT2scompartment reflecting the loss of its water content. The paramagnetic ion manganese diminishes the values ofT1and those of the long componentT21without affceting its short component. Therefore the short component could be assigned to intracellular and the long component to extracellular free water. The extracellularT2(459 ms) is approximatively 10‐fold higher than the intracellularT2(45 ms) With images of “pureT2” such a difference could be useful to enhance the contrast between organs and the surrounding liquid or between organs with different water compartmentalization.
