Water-suppressed one-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopic imaging of myocardial metabolites in vivo

Magn Reson Med. 1992 May;25(1):180-6. doi: 10.1002/mrm.1910250118.

Abstract

Excitation by conventional B1 pulses in surface coil chemical-shift imaging experiments yields resonance intensities that vary greatly with position. B1-compensated semi-selective pulses overcome much of this problem. These pulses are employed for excitation and refocusing in 1H NMR spectroscopic localization in the intact heart.
