Oxygen saturation-dependent effects on blood transverse relaxation at low fields

Conclusion\(\textit{T}_{2}\) changes in blood due to oxygenation were observed at fields as low as 0.1  T. These results suggest that low field NMR relaxometry devices around 0.3 T could be designed to detect changes in blood oxygenation.
