Carbon-13 magnetic resonance imaging of a human arm.
An image of naturally abundant carbon-13 of -CH2- chains of the fatty tissue in a human upper arm is presented. A slotted-tube resonator (STR) for the carbon-13 imaging is described with fabrication details. The carbon-13 image is compared with a proton -CH2- chemical shift image of the same upper arm.
