Spin-lattice relaxation rates (
R
1
) and
its associated dispersion over a range of magnetic field
shifts (Δ
B
0
) provide useful
quantitative tools to differentiate normal and abnormal
tissues. We present preliminary imaging results for
whole-body
R
1
and
R
1
dispersion
maps of 0.11 T magnetic field shifts about 1.5 T at 37
o
C
for a healthy mouse using delta relaxation enhanced
magnetic resonance (dreMR) imaging. The findings
demonstrate unenhanced tissues exhibit little magnetic
field dependence about 1.5 T.
