A new chemical shift imaging technique was developed to efficiently obtain separate images for multiple chemical shift peaks from a set of spin-echo acquisitions. Information from localized NMR spectroscopy was used to model the chemical shift spectrum as sharp peaks with known resonance frequencies

β¦ Synopsis
A new echo-time-encoded chemical-shift imaging technique applicable to dual-peak spectroscopic imaging with large magnetic field inhomogeneity is proposed and studied. The basic concept and its applications to modest field homogeneity (approximately 3.0 ppm) as well as to relatively large field inhomogeneity (approximately 10.5 ppm) are discussed. Actual pulse sequences are given and some experimental results on human volunteers obtained with a 2.0-T KAIS NMR system are also presented.

## Abstract Mechanical vibrations of the gradient coil system during readout in echoβplanar imaging (EPI) can increase the temperature of the gradient system and alter the magnetic field distribution during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This effect is enhanced by resonant modes of v
An imaging sequence based on a spin-echo train has been developed which is free from geometric distortions in the imaging plane due to main field inhomogeneity. Such inhomogeneities, and chemical shifts, cause only a displacement in the selected slice, which is minimized by the use of high gradient
MR images based on gradient echoes are sensitive to artifacts caused by inhomogeneities of the static magnetic field. This paper describes the effects of local gradients in rapid FLASH MR images and presents a way of directly imaging affected areas. The idea is to compensate for signal losses due to
A dedicated equipment has been designed for solid state NMR imaging in the spatial direction coinciding with the rotation axis of a 13C CP/MAS probe. It involves a two-turn B1 gradient coil whose plane is perpendicular to that axis and a 1H-13C doubly tuned saddle coil used for normal spectroscopic
