title: In vivo nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of lithium.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging techniques have previously been applied to 1H, 23Na, 31P, and 19F nuclei. This is the first report of application of these techniques to 7Li. Lithium images of both aqueous phantoms and a rat abdomen are presented. Applications of this technique to humans are discussed.
