title: Rapid localization of concave volumes by conformal NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: "Conformal" spectroscopy is a method for the acquisition of accurately localized NMR spectra from noncuboidal regions with optimum signal-to-noise ratio, and is based upon the localization of volumes defined by a number of oblique intersecting selected slices. We have previously demonstrated conformal localization of volumes with convex surfaces. In this paper we extend the technique to the localization of concave volumes.
