Pure pineapple juice was reduced by heating to a range of concentrations, and the T1 values were characterized for each concentration. A log-linear relationship between concentration factor and T1 reduction factor was shown. In vivo dynamic MR imaging of esophageal peristalsis was demonstrated using a modified MR angiography sequence and a 50% volume-reduced concentration of pineapple juice as swallowable contrast agent.
