High-field localized in vivo proton spectroscopy on micro volumes

Magn Reson Med. 1990 Mar;13(3):518-23. doi: 10.1002/mrm.1910130321.

Abstract

A water-suppressed volume-selected in vivo 1H spectrum of 0.2 ml of a rat brain has been obtained at 200 MHz using the SPACE localization method. Good signal-to-noise and spectral resolution were obtained by averaging 256 acquisitions. The spectrum shows little T2 weighting effect.
