## Abstract Accurate knowledge of relaxation times is imperative for adjustment of MRI parameters to obtain optimal signalโtoโnoise ratio (SNR) and contrast. As small animal MRI studies are extended to increasingly higher magnetic fields, these parameters must be assessed anew. The goal of this stu

## Abstract It is commonly accepted that the signalโtoโnoise ratio (SNR = peakโsignal/RMSโnoise) perโunitโtime of proton MR spectroscopy (^1^HโMRS) is linearly proportional to the voxel volume. Consequently, with a headcoil and 30โmin acquisition, 1 cm^3^ is considered the SNRโlimited spatial resol
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 sp
The aims of this study were, firstly, to monitor temperature with magnetic resonance (MR) during laser ablations performed in pig livers in vivo in a low-field open scanner (0.23T) and, secondly, to study the feasibility of lesion size prediction. Spin-echo (SE) images of 29 sec acquired during lase
