摘要
Three dimensional metabolite maps of protonated metabolites were obtained using H-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging at 7 T. Surface coils were used to increase sensitivity and spatial resolution significantly over a volume coil two-dimensional acquisition. Adiabatic pulses were employed to provide homogeneous B1 excitation and frequency selective refocusing over the volume of the rat brain. These techniques were employed to obtain three-dimensional spectroscopic imaging spectra from nominal voxel volumes of 9-30 mul from rat brain. The improved spatial resolution and sensitivity are also demonstrated with studies of focal ischemia in the rat.
