Abstract
It is shown that double inversion recovery used for water suppression can be made much less sensitive to pulse imperfections and to the variations in the relaxation times than a single inversion recovery. This insensitivity results in up to 10โfold improvement in the water suppression in vivo. The excellent water suppression by double inversion recovery is demonstrated experimentally by the in vivo proton spectra obtained from a rat brain.

Water suppression is typically performed in vivo by exciting the longitudinal magnetization in combination with dephasing, or by using frequency-selective coherence generation. MEGA, a frequency-selective refocusing technique, can be placed into any pulse sequence element designed to generate a Hahn
## Abstract A method to achieve simultaneous water and lipid suppression is described. The key feature of the new dual suppression technique is the use of the wellโknown hyperbolic secant (HS) waveform as a 90ยฐ saturation pulse. Two HS pulses with opposite frequency offsets are employed either sequ
