Magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Abstract
Abstract A magnetic resonance spectroscopic system for receiving a magnetic resonance signal from a localized area in a certain slice in a sample and obtaining a frequency spectrum of the magnetic resonance signal based on the received signal, includes control means for selectively exciting regions sandwiching a zone containing said localized area in one of x- and y-axis directions in said slice, thereafter applying a spoiler to eliminate lateral spin components from said regions, selectively exciting regions sandwiching a zone containing said localized area in the other of x- and y-axis directions in said slice, thereafter applying a spoiler to eliminate lateral spin components from said last-mentioned regions, and then exciting a zone containing said localized area in a z y -axis direction to extract a magnetic resonance signal of said localized area. The magnetic resonance spectroscopic system is of a simple arrangement capable of facilitating measurements and producing a magnetic resonance signal of a localized area located at a desired depth in the sample under examination.
