## Abstract Citrate is a secretory product of the normal prostate, a lack of citrate in prostate tissue is expected to be pathognomonic for adenocarcinoma. In the present study proton ABβsignal characteristics of citrate at low field strength of 1.5 T were investigated by __volume selective spectro

β¦ Synopsis
Successful in vivo NMR spectroscopy requires a combination of techniques to address the problems of volume selection, water suppression, and resolution. All this needs to be done in the very heterogeneous environment found in living organisms. Previously published techniques are used to obtain 'H spectra from a dog brain, observing metabolites with concentrations below 1 mM. Measurements of spin-lattice relaxation times (T,) are also presented. The 'H relaxation times are long ( T , > 1 .O s) yielding information about the fluidity of the molecular environment. Comments are made concerning the achievable linewidth in vivo and the deficiencies that phase-encoding spectroscopic methods may have in obtaining high-resolution 'H spectra. o 1989 Academic Press, Inc.

The goal of this work is to provide regional T(1) and T(2) values at a field strength of 7 T for the normal mouse brain at 6 weeks and 1 year old. A novel segmented snapshot FLASH sequence was used to measure T(1) in the hippocampus, corpus callosum, and the retrosplenial granular (RSG) cortex; T(2)
## Abstract Variations in the intrinsic __T__~1~ and __T__~2~ relaxation times have been implicated in numerous neurologic conditions. Unfortunately, the low resolution and long imaging time associated with conventional methods have prevented __T__~1~ and __T__~2~ mapping from becoming part of rout
