In this study, the relationships between changes in cell membrane potential and MR measurements of T₁, T₂, and qMT parameters were examined using a neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y) as an in vitro model. When the membrane potential was depolarized from -37.7 mV to −7.5 mV, the changes in MR parameters were: T₁, +4.29%; T₂, +21.2%; pool size ratio (PSR), −12.4%. Contrarily, when the membrane potential was hyperpolarized to −43.0 mV, the changes in MR parameters were: T₁, −3.40%; T₂, −10.0%; PSR, +6.97%. These observations are expected to be utilized to noninvasively detect changes in the membrane potential of cells.
