Localized phosphorus-31 NMR spectra of human calf muscle in vivo were obtained by means of echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) with a 1.5-T whole-body scanner. The technique permits the measurement of two-dimensional 31 P SI data at a minimum acquisition time of 2.4 s (8 Γ 8 voxels, TR = 300 ms

β¦ Synopsis
We have demonstrated that echo-planar imaging can be used to produce high-quality snapshot images of the human fetus in utero in a fraction of a second. These images are free of motional artifact or blurring and allow detailed depiction of fetal structures in normal and pathological pregnancies.

## Abstract Animal studies have shown that in vivo estimates of microvessel density in the brain may be obtained from an MRIβmeasurable index (__Q__) provided that a sufficiently high dose of an intravascular paramagnetic contrast agent is employed. __Q__ is determined from the shifts in the transv
