Project summary:

Measurement, imaging and mapping of specific physical quantities, organic and synthetic materials and objects in the field of development of material a biomedical research. Basic research of selected imaging method based on NMR.
The object of the research will be methods of measurement and mapping of specific properties of physical quantities and chemical composition of organic and synthetic materials and objects.Research of soft-magentic nanoliquids properties as a part of contrast materials, thin magnetic layer.
Study and selection of appropriate imaging method with orientation on biological and non-biological materials at magnetic fields 0.1 T, 0.2 T, 3.0 T, 4.7 and 7.0 Tesla.Comparative imaging methods, detection of the iron in organism, magnetic properties of iron complexes.
Research of relaxation mechanism of influencing of biogenic iron complexes on the water proton using magnetic resonance imaging. Relaxation model as a basis for quantitatively imaging of biological iron complexes.
