Time Constant Tool: Mz = 1 - 2·exp(-t/1500)

Longitudinal recovery after inversion with T1 = 1500 ms.

1_2exp_t1500

Navigate below and increase T1 to 2500 ms: 1 - 2·exp (-t/2500).

Navigate through the tool...
  1. 1 - 2·exp (-t/100)
  2. 1 - 2·exp (-t/400)
  3. 1 - 2·exp (-t/800)
  4. 1 - 2·exp (-t/1500)
  5. 1 - 2·exp (-t/2500)
