Abstract
Agar hydrogel is used for tissue mimicking phantom in magnetic resonance imaging studies. The spin-lattice relaxation time, T1 as an important parameter in Magnetic Resonance Imaging measurement was observed. The T1-value represents how fast the net spin magnetization vector recovers to its equilibrium after generation of magnetic field. To explore mechanical properties of agar, shear modulus was examined using a dynamic mechanical analyser. The relation between mechanical properties and spin-lattice relaxation time of agar hydrogel is discussed.
