Abstract
The present invention provides a clinical magnetic resonance spectrometer which overcomes many of the limitations of the laboratory instruments created thus far. A magnetic resonance spectroscopy apparatus for testing a sample contained within an elongated container having opposing ends, includes magnetic resonance excitation and detection apparatus having a vertically oriented central bore for receiving the sample to be tested and means for engaging the container by the opposing ends thereof and for spinning the container. Another embodiment includes magnetic resonance excitation and detection means having a vertically oriented central bore including a cylindrical radio frequency coil for surrounding at least a portion of a sample to be tested, the bore and coil both having open bottom ends, and means for raising and lowering a vertically oriented, elongated container, holding a sample to be tested, into and out of the bore and coil through the open bottom ends thereof.
