## Abstract ^1^H NMR localized spectroscopy (STEAM) can assess unambiguously the presence of free chemically unchanged silicone in animal tissue after injection of silicone oil. Although the signal—to—noise ratio obtained in ^1^H imaging is sufficient to detect the distribution of relatively large

Abstract
Volume‐localized proton NMR spectroscopy was used to estimate bone marrow cellularity in the posterior iliac crests of patients undergoing treatment with hematopoietic growth factors for a variety of hematologic and neoplastic disorders. Twelve patients were accrued, six of whom were studied more than once, yielding a total of 25 measurements. These data were compared to cellularity assessments derived from conventional bone marrow core biopsies obtained within a 24‐h period before or after the NMR exam. The results obtained by the two methods are well correlated (R = 0.94, P < 0.001), suggesting that this noninvasive technique may preclude the need for biopsies in some cases. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.

Localized proton NMR spectroscopy using stimulated echoes (STEAM) has been used to study metabolites in different proximal skeletal muscles of normal volunteers at rest. Single scan water-suppressed proton NMR spectra obtained at 1.5 and 2.0 T (Siemens Magnetom) from a 64-ml volume-of-interest (VOI)
Water-suppressed localized proton NMR spectroscopy using stimulated echoes has been successfully applied to detect metabolites in the human brain in vivo. The STEAM spectroscopy sequence allows single-step localization by exciting three intersecting slices. Water suppression is achieved by preceding
