Theory and Technique of Surface Coils in In Vivo Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
NMR: Principles and Applications to Biomedical Research

Abstract

The inhomogenous radiofrequency field of the surface coil affords crude localization of the sample sensitive volume, and provides detection of surface regions with high sensitivity. However, the complicated shape of the sensitive volume limits or invalidates the significance of many physiological studies, and an additional means of localization such as depth pulses is required to obtain significant data, or to at least prove that the surface coil data is significant.
