Measurements of the water proton spinlattice relaxation (T(1)) in 106 human tumors confirms earlier results with animals [Damadian, R. (1971) Science 171, 1151-1153]. T(1) of all the tumors studied were significantly longer than T(1) of the corresponding normal tissues. Mean standard error and range were reported for T(1) of every human organ and for all the tumor groups studied. The technique is now ready for use by pathologists as an adjunct to present methods of diagnosing malignancy.
对106例人类肿瘤的水质子自旋晶格弛豫时间（T(1)）的测量结果证实了早期在动物实验中得到的结果[达马迪安，R.（1971年）《科学》171卷，第1151 - 1153页]。所有研究的肿瘤的T(1)均显著长于相应正常组织的T(1)。报告了每个人类器官以及所有研究的肿瘤组的T(1)的平均标准误差和范围。该技术现已可供病理学家作为现有恶性肿瘤诊断方法的辅助手段使用。
