Tissue fixation with formaldehyde can significantly
affects the relaxation properties of the underlying
tissue which hinders direct comparison with in vivo
conditions. We here present a simple correction scheme
that is based on the temperature dependency of T1, T2
and T2* in fixed and unfixed tissue. The proposed
correction scheme was validated with corresponding fixed
and unfixed data from literature.
