Simultaneous and interleaved acquisition of <scp>NMR</scp> signals from different nuclei with a clinical <scp>MRI</scp> scanner

Abstract

Interleaved and simultaneous ¹ H and ³¹ P signal acquisition was successfully demonstrated with a clinical MRI scanner, with only minor modification of the RF architecture. While demonstrated with ³¹ P, the modification is applicable to any detectable nucleus without further modification, enabling a wide range of simultaneous and interleaved experiments to be performed within a clinical setting.
