Transverse relaxation in biological tissues is sensitive
to the structural organization of magnetic
inhomogeneities on the cellular level. A recently
developed theory predicts a reflection of this
structural organization in the long-time behavior of the
induced relaxation rate as a power law approach to the
asymptote. Here we present the first direct experimental
verification of such dependence in differently composed
media. Specifically, we observe the theoretically
expected behavior in a microbead phantom with two
different types of structural disorder.
