Abstract
The invention involves color magnetic resonance imaging using both a magnetic resonance property and a function of the magnetic resonance property. These enhanced color images provide greater informational content to the viewer. Applications include color imaging of estimates of T2 to distinguish between regions of a sample containing homogeneous tissue and regions containing mixtures of tissue by using spatial variation in the hue, brightness, or saturation of the colors.
