Water-suppressed one-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopic imaging of myocardial metabolites in vivo.
Excitation by conventional B1 pulses in surface coil chemical-shift imaging experiments yields resonance intensities that vary greatly with position. B1-compensated semi-selective pulses overcome much of this problem. These pulses are employed for excitation and refocusing in 1H NMR spectroscopic localization in the intact heart.
