Author T2 relaxivity in presence of Gadolinium

Hi,

I would like to make a T2 phantom composed of distilled water doped
with gadolinium.

I have not been sucessful in finding papers (via Pubmed) of previous
investigators who have done this......usually a T2 phantom is made from
agarose doped with CuSO4 or agarose doped with gadolinium.

Does anybody know of a reference which has a nice T2 vs. Gad
concentration relaxivity plot for a distilled water/Gd phantom? I
would like some basis of comparison for my design.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Matt K.

Contact Tim Mosher or Mike Smith at Penn State's famous MRI lab (see the
website). They will know the answer to your question.
