Proton NMR spectroscopy of solvent-saturable resonances: a new approach to study pH effects in situ.

abstract：:Magnetic resonance imaging measurements of the apparent rate of water diffusion in tumors are sensitive to variations in tissue cellularity, which have been shown useful for characterizing tumors and their responses to treatments. However, because of technical limitations on most MRI systems, conventional pulse gradie...

abstract：:The use of phase correlation to detect rigid-body translational motion is reviewed and applied to individual echotrains in turbo-spin-echo data acquisition. It is shown that when the same echotrain is acquired twice, the subsampled correlation provides an array of delta-functions, from which the motion that occurred b...
