title: A dual-tuned probe and multiband receiver front end for X-nucleus spectroscopy with proton scout imaging in vivo.
abstract: A dual-tuned volume coil probe and a novel multituned receiver front end are described, for spectroscopy in vivo of X nuclei with scout imaging of protons. Detailed circuit information is given for the probe, diplexer, receiver protection switch, and preamplifier.
