Abstract
In order to study the aging process (i.e., silicone migration, fat infiltration) of silicone (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) based biomaterials in living subjects by NMR imaging a hybrid ^1^H selective excitation and saturation chemical shift imaging technique (IR/CHESSβCSSE) has been developed. This sequence allows selective mapping of the distribution of silicone protons in vivo, while suppressing the contributions of fat and water. Our results indicate that a combined inversion recovery and CHESS pulse, followed by a spoiler gradient, must be applied to suppress all contributions of fat protons to the NMR signal. The sensitivity of our experiments allows the detection of a chemically unchanged silicone concentration of 5% in a voxel of 0.9 mm^3^ at a signal/noise ratio of 2.

## Abstract Functionally distinct anatomic subdivisions of the brain can often be only a few millimeters in one or more dimensions. The study of metabolic differences in such structures by means of localized in vivo MR spectroscopy is therefore challenging, if not impossible. In fact, the spatial r
Seventeen brain tumors were measured by 1H-CSI (chemical shift imaging) in a 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance scanner. The metabolic peaks obtained were evaluated by two methods. One method was to obtain the percentage of each metabolite relative to the combined choline, creatine and NAA peak areas

A method of (13)C chemical-shift-resolved (1)H second moment imaging is proposed for molecular mobility imaging of heterogeneous materials. For evaluating the (1)H second moment, the method relies on the curve fitting procedure using spin-echo shapes indirectly: The information of (1)H echo shapes i
