Magnetic Resonance Spectral Characterization of Diffusion with Chemical Shift Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a modulated gradient spin-echo method (MGSE), which uses a train of sinusoidally shaped gradient pulses separated by 180-degree RF pulses. The RF pulses efficiently refocus chemical shifts and de-phasing due to susceptibility differences, resulting in undistorted, high-resolution diffusion weighted spectra. This allows for simultaneous spectral characterization of diffusion of several molecular components with different chemical shifts. Feasibility of the technique is demonstrated by following the diffusion of water, oil, and water-soluble salt in a highly concentrated water-in-oil emulsion.

Spin-Echo planar spectroscopic imaging for fast lipid characterization in bone marrow.
Lipid characterization of bone marrow in vivo with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed using Spin-Echo Planar Spectroscopic Imaging sequences. The methods are shown capable of rapidly generating two-dimensional chemical shift imaging data sets suitable for measuring lipid indices that reflect unsaturation levels among triglycerides, as demonstrated in oil phantoms and bone marr...
متن کاملTheoretical study of structure spectral properties of Tacrine as Alzheimer drug
Tacrine (9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine) as a reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE),was the first drug for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). NMR structuredetermination still presents some considerable challenges: the method is limited to systems ofrelatively small molecular mass, data collection times are long, data analysis remains a lengthyprocedure, and...
متن کاملSelf-diffusion measurements with chemical shift resolution in inhomogeneous magnetic fields.
A methodology for chemical shift resolved molecular self-diffusion measurements in time-independent static and radiofrequency field gradients is demonstrated. Diffusion encoding is provided by a stimulated echo sequence with additional z-storage that allows for a change of diffusion time without affecting the relaxation weighting. The signal is acquired stroboscopically between the pulses of a ...
متن کاملCarbon-13 chemical shift anisotropy in DNA bases from field dependence of solution NMR relaxation rates.
Knowledge of (13)C chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) in nucleotide bases is important for the interpretation of solution-state NMR relaxation data in terms of local dynamic properties of DNA and RNA. Accurate knowledge of the CSA becomes particularly important at high magnetic fields, prerequisite for adequate spectral resolution in larger oligonucleotides. Measurement of (13)C relaxation rates o...
متن کاملRegion and volume dependencies in spectral linewidth assessed by H 2D chemical shift imaging in the monkey brain at 7T
High magnetic fields increase the sensitivity and spectral dispersion in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). In contrast, spectral peaks are broadened in vivo at higher field strength due to stronger susceptibility-induced effects. Strategies to minimize the spectral linewidth are therefore of critical importance. In the present study, H 2D chemical shift imaging (CSI) at short echo times wa...
