Abstract
Purpose: To compare the conventional localized point-resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) with localized 2D intermolecular single-quantum coherence (iSQC) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and obtain in vivo MRS spectrum of rat brain using the latter technique. Materials and Methods: A brain phantom, an intact pig brain tissue, and mature Sprague–Dawley rat were studied by PRESS, Nano magic-angle spinning spectroscopy, and iSQC MRS. Results: Using PRESS, high-resolution MRS can be obtained from the brain phantom and pig brain tissue with a small voxel in a relatively homogeneous field. When a large voxel is selected, the field homogeneity is distinctly reduced. No useful information is obtained from the PRESS spectra. However, using the iSQC MRS, high-resolution spectra can be obtained from the two samples with a relatively large voxel. In the same way, an iSQC MRS spectrum can be obtained from a relatively large voxel of in vivo rat brain with a comparable resolution to the PRESS spectrum with a small voxel. Conclusion: Compared to PRESS, the iSQC MRS may be more feasible and promising for detection of strongly structured tissues with relatively large voxels. J. Magn. Reson.

Spatially Localized Two-Dimensional J-Resolved NMR Spectroscopy via Intermolecular Double-Quantum Coherences for Biological Samples at 7 T.

TL;DR: The localized iDQCJRES method holds advantage for recovering high-resolution 2D J-resolved information from inhomogeneous fields caused by external non-ideal field condition or internal macroscopic magnetic susceptibility variations in biological samples, and it is free of voxel size limitation and time-consuming field shimming procedure.

High Resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy on Biological Tissue and Metabolomics.

TL;DR: Broadband 1H homodecoupled NMR spectroscopy displays J coupled resonances as collapsed singlets, resulting in highly resolved spectra, which can be used to acquire high-resolution spectra of some pharmaceuticals.

Principles of nuclear magnetic resonance in one and two dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of nuclear spin systems were studied by two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NEMI) imaging, and two different correlation methods based on coherence transfer were proposed.

Proton NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants for brain metabolites.

TL;DR: Proton NMR chemical shift and J‐coupling values are presented for 35 metabolites that can be detected by in vivo or in vitro NMR studies of mammalian brain, with an accuracy suitable for computer simulation of metabolite spectra to be used as basis functions of a parametric spectral analysis procedure.

Automatic, localized in vivo adjustment of all first- and second-order shim coils.

TL;DR: An analysis of noise error propagation suggests that in 64‐ml volumes the residual linewidths obtained with the FASTMAP method are negligible when the signal‐to‐rms‐noise ratio is above 30 and the time savings are achieved by mapping the magnetic field along six projections rather than from whole‐imaging data sets.

WET, a T1- and B1-insensitive water-suppression method for in vivo localized 1H NMR spectroscopy

TL;DR: An improved water-suppression technique called WET (water suppression enhanced through T1 effects), developed from a Bloch equation analysis of the longitudinal magnetization over the T1 and B1 ranges of interest, achieves T1- and B 1-insensitive suppression with four RF pulses, each having a numerically optimized flip angle.

Improved WATERGATE Pulse Sequences for Solvent Suppression in NMR Spectroscopy

TL;DR: Modifications to the WATERGATE method for removing the solvent resonance from H-1 NMR spectra provide narrower noninversion regions and hence enhance the sensitivities of the peaks close to the water resonance.
