Shielded solenoidal probe for in vivo NMR studies of solid tumors.
A shielded solenoidal probe, suitable for in vivo NMR studies of subcutaneous solid tumors, is described. The 31P NMR spectra obtained from phantom samples and in vivo subcutaneous solid tumors in mice show that spurious signals from the body are totally eliminated if the proper shield is used.
