(17)O-decoupled (1)H spin-echo imaging has been reported as a means of indirect (17)O detection, with potential application to measurement of blood flow and metabolism. In its current form, (17)O decoupling requires large RF amplitudes and a 180 degrees refocusing pulse, complicating its application
This paper focuses on the problem of decoupling transmitter and receiver coils when noise arises predominantly from the coil resistor, the general case in high-resolution NMR as well as in NMR of small biological samples. Test procedures for assessing the efficiency of decoupling schemes are propose
Coupling between large transmit and surface-receive coils is eliminated using a lambda/4 cable, terminated with crossed diodes to ground, inserted between the receive coil and ground, and by using a cable of length a little less than lambda/2 inserted between the transmit match capacitance and the n
A strategy for the design of surface coils for the imaging of extended superficial planar anatomic structures including skin and subcutaneous fat is presented. The central concept is to create an array of closely spaced coplanar radiofrequency current filaments parallel to BO, the polarizing field,
