## Abstract Spectral quality in ^1^H magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) critically depends on the stability of the main magnetic field. For echo‐planar MRSI implemented at 3 T, temperature variation in the passive steel shims of the magnet system can lead to a significant drift in the

✦ Synopsis
Cyclic J cross polarisation (CYCLCROP) is a sensitive method for the noninvasive monitoring of 13 C distributions and fluxes. The PRAWN rotating frame Hartmann-Hahn mixing sequence ameliorates problems associated with sensitivity to Hartmann-Hahn mismatch and reduces RF power deposition. The combination of CYCLCROP with echo planar imaging (EPI) for spatial encoding of the proton detected carbon signal allows efficient use of the available signal to be made, permitting a significant improvement in the temporal resolution of any study. We report here on some initial experiments to demonstrate the feasibility of echo planar proton detected 13 C imaging using CYCLCROP based upon the PRAWN module, including the application of the technique to the measurement of transport and accumulation of 13 C-labelled sucrose in a castor bean seedling. Two methods that can be used to eliminate the effect of the J-splitting in the EP images are presented. In addition, a fast, image-based B 1 field-mapping method which may be used to quantitatively map the low frequency RF field in a dual resonant ( 13 C/ 1 H) probe is presented. The technique utilises the above described imaging method, permitting fully quantitative, 64×64 axial field maps to be generated in about a minute.

A new ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequence named radial echo-planar imaging (rEPI) is introduced. The sequence is based on a modification of the echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence to scan k-space radially, in an attempt to combine the speed of EPI with the benefits of radial sampling.
After an introduction to Fourier NMR imaging, the effect of magnetic field inhomogeneity on image quality is discussed. The field inhomogeneity leads to a distortion of the image when the reciprocal space is sampled on an oblique plane. This effect is especially strong in echo-planar imaging (EPI),
