title: Increasing the sensitivity of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging.
abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging are two of the most important techniques in analytical chemistry and noninvasive medical imaging, respectively. They share a common physical basis, one aspect of which is a low intrinsic sensitivity relative to complementary techniques. Encouragingly, recent advances in physics, chemistry, engineering, and data processing have enabled significant increases in sensitivity, as measured by both increased signal-to-noise and reduced data acquisition times, allowing previously unattainable data to be acquired and also new types of experiments to be designed.
