Abstract
Methods for low-power in vivo localized multi-dimensional correlated magnetic resonance spectroscopy ('MRS') are provided. Low-power adiabaticity is achieved, generally, using gradient-modulated radio frequency pulses for localization and mixing. The provided pulse sequences also provide a mechanism for longitudinal mixing, which significantly increases the efficiency of magnetization transfer and thereby increases signal-to-noise ratio.
