In Vivo NMR Spectroscopy

<p><b>Presents basic concepts, experimental methodology and data acquisition, and processing standards of <i>in vivo</i> NMR spectroscopy</b></p> <p>This book covers, in detail, the technical and biophysical aspects of <i>in vivo</i> NMR techniques and includes novel developments in the field such as hyperpolarized NMR, dynamic ¹³C 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.</p> <p>The third edition of <i>In Vivo NMR Spectroscopy: Principles and Techniques</i> 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 ³¹P 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.</p> <ul> <li>Provide an educational explanation and overview of <i>in vivo</i> NMR, while maintaining the practical aspects appreciated by experimental NMR spectroscopists</li> <li>Features more experimental methodology than the previous edition</li> <li>End-of-chapter exercises that help drive home the principles and techniques and offer a more in-depth exploration of quantitative MR equations</li> <li>Designed to be used in conjunction with a teaching course on the subject</li> </ul> <p><i>In Vivo NMR Spectroscopy: Principles and Techniques, 3^rd Edition</i> is aimed at all those involved in fundamental and/or diagnostic <i>in vivo</i> NMR, ranging from people working in dedicated <i>in vivo</i> NMR institutes, to radiologists in hospitals, researchers in high-resolution NMR and MRI, and in areas such as neurology, physiology, chemistry, and medical biology.</p> <p> </p>
