Abstrakt: In heterogeneous systems the amplitude of the intermolecular double-quantum (DQ) signal depends on sample heterogeneity over a correlation distance dc=pi/(gammaGct). In this paper two different CRAZED-type sequences were applied in a porous medium phantom. One of these sequences gives rise to a DQ-T2 weighted signal, while the other one gives rise to a DQ-T2* weighted signal. Experimental results indicate that tuning of the correlation distance dc in a porous medium can alter the DQ signal in a manner which depends on the microstructure. This is evident only using the CRAZED-type sequence which gives rise to a DQ-T2* weighted signal.
