During the last two decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved into one of the most powerful techniques in medical diagnosis. Among the various medical diagnostic modalities, such as X-ray or ultra-sound imaging, MRI is the technique of choice e ...
Measurements of T2 relaxation times in tissues have provided a unique, noninvasive method to investigate the microenvironment of water molecules in vivo. As more clinical imaging is performed at higher field strengths, tissue relaxation times need to be re ...
It is shown how transverse magnetization can be excited with a single low-power radiofrequency pulse consisting of a superposition of 2 frequency-modulated components. The phase dispersion obtained with this self-refocusing pulse is very small over bandwid ...
A technique is proposed which simplifies the study of spin-lattice relaxation in multilevel nuclear spin systems. The introduction of non-participating "spy" nuclei, which interact with the nuclei under investigation through scalar or dipolar coupling, m ...
Two-dimensional Fourier-transform techniques were used to observe the deuteron double quantum transition for DC.tbd.CCN and CDCl3 partially oriented in a nematic solvent. Obsd. linewidths agree well with those calcd. from appropriate spin-lattice relaxatio ...
{Fe[Gd2bpy(DTTA)2(H2O)4]3}4- is a self-assembled, metallostar-structured potential MRI contrast agent, with six efficiently relaxing Gd3+ centers confined into a small mol. space. Its proton relaxivity is particularly remarkable at very high magnetic field ...
A pulsed field gradient NMR (= nuclear magnetic resonance) method using stimulated echoes for determining the translational isotropic or anisotropic diffusion coefficient of a molecule or supramolecular assembly or the flow rate and direction of fluids con ...
In the recent years Magnetic Resonance Imaging has evolved into one of the most powerfuldiagnostic techniques in medicine, in part thanks to the application of suitable contrastagents. The design of new, more efficient MRI contrast media requires the compl ...
A novel approach to inversion recovery in NMR is described which combines adiabatic inversion with the observation of a spin echo refocused by a chirp pulse. This echo method allows one to generate in-phase magnetization over a broad range of frequencies. ...
