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
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
## Abstract A new method which combines localized high‐resolution proton NMR spectroscopy with two‐dimensional correlated spectroscopy using stimulated echoes is presented. Stimulated‐echo correlated spectroscopy (STECSY) is a straightforward extension of the STEAM method. Experiments with phantoms
At TE values of 136 ms, it has recently been shown that the lactate methyl signal, when obtained with a stimulated-echo (STE) sequence, is modulated at the zero-quantum (ZQ) frequency when TM is varied. Here we describe an additional modulation of the ZQ lactate signal, due to spin-spin coupling, th
