Abstract
A procedure for determination of flow and fraction of fluids includes the steps of: determination of Spin-Lattice relaxation times to be measured; assignment of radiofrequency pulse sequences corresponding to each of the fluids to be measured and with the fluid flow; application of a radiofrequency pulse sequence to a first coil; application of a second radiofrequency pulse sequence to the first coil; and application of a third radiofrequency pulse sequence to a second coil.
Claims15
A method for measuring and determining fluid flow and fluid fractions of a mixture of fluids comprising:
- determining a spin-lattice relaxation time for a plurality of fluids to be measured;
- assigning a radio frequency pulse sequence to each of said plurality of fluids, said radio frequency pulse sequence corresponding to each respective fluid and fluid flow to be measured, said frequency pulse sequences being used to identify a Spin Echo of said fluids to be measured and a steady-state free precession, each of which function to determine the flow of the fluids;
- applying a radio frequency pulse sequence to a first coil;
- applying a second radio frequency pulse sequence to said first coil;
- and
- applying a third radio frequency pulse sequence to a second coil.
