 Magnetization transfer

Magnetization transfer is a phenomenon observed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It involves the transfer of magnetization from one pool of protons (nuclei) to another, typically between freely moving (mobile) protons and those that are closely bound within macromolecules or in less mobile environments. In MRI, magnetization transfer is utilized to enhance contrast between different tissues.
