β¦ Synopsis
The efficiency of 31P homonuclear decoupling in vivo is demonstrated. In low-field clinical situations, when .Ipp is equal to or greater than Au, significant improvements in the precision of measuring the ATP resonance area can be expected upon decoupling due to the increase in signal-to-noise produced upon collapse of the J coupling. The sensitivity loss due to time sharing between the decoupler and receiver is discussed.

It is a requirement of many localized NMR spectroscopy experiments, such as DRESS, that collection of the free induction decay be delayed a significant time after the middle of the last pulse. This leads to distortion of the spectra and seriously impedes the retrieval of quantitative information fro
