## Abstract The discrete Fourier transform (FT) is a conventional method for spatial reconstruction of chemical shifting imaging (CSI) data. Due to point spread function (PSF) effects, FT reconstruction leads to intervoxel signal leakage (Gibbs ringing). Spectral localization by imaging (SLIM) reco

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A mechanical device (NMR lift) has been built to displace vertically an object (typically an NMR sample tube) inside the NMR probe with an accuracy of 1 µm. A series of single pulse experiments are performed for incremented vertical positions of the sample. With a sufficiently spatially selective radio‐frequency (r.f.) field, one obtains chemical shift information along the displacement direction (one‐dimensional chemical shift imaging (CSI)). Knowing the vertical r.f. field profile (the amplitude of the r.f. field along the vertical direction), one can reconstruct the spectrum associated with all the slices corresponding to consecutive sample positions and improve the spatial resolution, which is simply related to the accuracy of the displacement device. Beside tests performed on phantoms, the method has been applied to solvent penetration in polymers and to benzene diffusion in a heterogeneous zeolite medium. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract A fundamental modification to the conventional chemical shift imaging (CSI) method is described that improves the imaging of species with short __T__~2~'s (i.e., less than ∼2 ms). This approach minimizes the delay before each __k__‐space point is collected. This results in different tim
Proton chemical-shift imaging with the elimination of three kinds of artifacts caused by main magnetic field inhomogeneities, susceptibility distributions of imaging objects, and the electromagnetic properties of radiofrequency (RF) fields is presented in this paper. In addition, the last of these a
