T2* can be considered an observed or effective T2, whereas the first T2 can be considered the natural or true T2 of the tissue being imaged. T2* is always less than or equal to T2. T2* results principally from inhomogeneities in the main magnetic field.These inhomogeneities may be the result of intrinsic defects in the magnet itself or from susceptibility-induced field distortions produced by the tissue or other materials placed within the field.2* can be considered an observed or effective T2, whereas the first T2 can be considered the natural or true T2 of the tissue being imaged.

The average electricity consumption of a US family of four is in the neighborhood of 50 kWh per day, or 1,500 kWh per month. Similar figures apply for Canada. Assuming an average electricity cost of $0.12 per kWh, that translates into about $6 per day for electricity, or $180 per month.
The average electricity consumption is 4,800 kWh per household [36]. A smaller than average household is taken arbitrarily to be 3,000 kWh (i.e. roughly two-thirds of the average), and a larger than average household to be 7,000 kWh (i.e. roughly 50% more).er kg, and 0.245 kg per kWh) [14]. This needs to be adjusted for the fossil fuel used in the extraction of oil and in refinery inefficiency, which together gives an inefficiency of 15% (see car sources page), giving a figure of 2.96 kg CO. per litre.
