Theoretical evaluation and comparison of fast chemical shift imaging methods

R Pohmann, M Von Kienlin, A Haase - Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 1997 - Elsevier
Magnetic resonance chemical shift imaging (CSI) is becoming the method of choice for
localized NMR spectroscopic examinations, allowing simultaneous detection of NMR
spectra from a large number of voxels. The main limitation of these methods is their long
experimental duration. A number of fast CSI experiments have been presented, promising to
reduce that duration. In this contribution the criteria for evaluating and optimizing the
sensitivity of fast CSI experiments are elaborated. For a typical experiment in the human …
