| Abstract: | Initial 31P spectroscopy results from a 4-T whole-body system are reported. Localized spectra from the human head, liver, and calf were obtained using DRESS, slice-interleaved DRESS, and volume 3DFT spectroscopic imaging techniques. Substantial reductions in data acquisition times to 10 s-4 min were achieved relative to previous similar experiments at 1.5 T. Some gain in spectral resolution (as measured in ppm) was also realized in the head. |
