STEAM (stimulated-echo acquisition mode) imaging techniques recently introduced by the authors are demonstrated to provide a versatile tool for improving the parametric specificity in NMR imaging. Stimulated echoes can be excited by a sequence of at least three rf pulses with flip angles of 90 degre

Stimulated-echo localized spectroscopy was combined with phase-and frequency-encoding gradients to obtain "zoom" or magnified images of specific organs in situ. The technique requires neither surface coils nor an imaging coil arrangement that exclusively isolates the target organ. This technique can
The application of stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequences for NMR imaging of diffusion is especially suited for spins with T1 much greater than T2 as, e.g., encountered in proton NMR studies of biological systems. Molecular self-diffusion coefficients may be calculated from a set of diff
Previous investigators have employed the concept of bolus tracking using either spin echoes or gradient echoes. In this paper we introduce two methods ofbolus tracking using planar-and volume-selective stimulated echoes. The planar method employs a selective 90" rf pulse which tags all spins in a pa
## Abstract We measure the velocity distribution of slow fluid flow in model systems using stimulated echoes and velocity phase encoding. We show velocity images of slow coherent flow with velocities of the order of 0.1 mm/s which is slower than can be obtained by the bolus‐tracking method. The edd
