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 be readily applied to conventional spectrometer imagers that have limited computational capabilities.

## Abstract Diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) using conventional single‐shot (SS) 2D diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐EPI is subject to severe susceptibility artifacts. Multishot DW imaging (DWI) techniques can reduce these distortions, but they generally suffer from artifacts caused by motion‐induced phase errors
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
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
