Abstract

Novel protocols are presented for acquiring one- and two-dimensional relaxation time spectra from selected subvolumes of a macroscopically heterogeneous sample. Although the protocols are generally applicable, special emphasis is given to their implementation on low-cost, low-field bench-top relaxometers lacking pulse shaping or pulsed gradient facilities.
