Presents basic concepts, experimental methodology and data acquisition, and processing standards of
in vivo
NMR spectroscopy
This book covers, in detail, the technical and biophysical aspects of
NMR techniques and includes novel developments in the field such as hyperpolarized NMR, dynamic
13
C NMR, automated shimming, and parallel acquisitions. Most of the techniques are described from an educational point of view, yet it still retains the practical aspects appreciated by experimental NMR spectroscopists. In addition, each chapter concludes with a number of exercises designed to review, and often extend, the presented NMR principles and techniques.
The third edition of
In Vivo NMR Spectroscopy: Principles and Techniques
has been updated to include experimental detail on the developing area of hyperpolarization; a description of the semi-LASER sequence, which is now a method of choice; updated chemical shift data, including the addition of
31
P data; a troubleshooting section on common problems related to shimming, water suppression, and quantification; recent developments in data acquisition and processing standards; and MatLab scripts on the accompanying website for helping readers calculate radiofrequency pulses.
Provide an educational explanation and overview of
NMR, while maintaining the practical aspects appreciated by experimental NMR spectroscopists
Features more experimental methodology than the previous edition
End-of-chapter exercises that help drive home the principles and techniques and offer a more in-depth exploration of quantitative MR equations
Designed to be used in conjunction with a teaching course on the subject
In Vivo NMR Spectroscopy: Principles and Techniques, 3
rd
Edition
is aimed at all those involved in fundamental and/or diagnostic
NMR, ranging from people working in dedicated
NMR institutes, to radiologists in hospitals, researchers in high-resolution NMR and MRI, and in areas such as neurology, physiology, chemistry, and medical biology.
