Abstract
A method of simultaneous multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spatially localized NMR spectroscopy is disclosed. Clinical implementation of the disclosed method allows routine in vivo NMR spectroscopy studies without significantly increasing the time of conventional MR imaging studies. A unique sequence of rf excitation and magnetic gradient pulses is used which allows chemical shift imaging data to be acquired simultaneously with conventional imaging data. A deconvolution method extracts the chemical shift information for analysis and display.
