Electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) has
surfaced as a promising technique that can allow
quantitative imaging of tissue oxygenation. Owing to the
extremely short spin-spin relaxation time, single point
imaging (SPI) is used, where entire FID is
phase-encoded. Several methods have been proposed to
overcome zoom-in effect inherent in SPI-EPRI. Among
them, spin echo based SPI-EPRI (ESPI-EPRI) is worthy of
study because it can allow simultaneous T
2
and
T
2
* estimation when combined with a single
acquisition method. In this study, the physical and
physiological significance of T
2
and
T
2
* measures was explored through the
proposed single acquisition method in ESPI-EPRI.
