Multi-spin-echo spatial encoding provides three-fold improvement of temperature precision during intermolecular zero quantum thermometry

摘要

PurposeIntermolecular multiple quantum coherences (iMQCs) are a source of MR contrast with applications including temperature imaging, anisotropy mapping, and brown fat imaging. Because all applications are limited by SNR, this study develops a pulse sequence that detects iZQCs with improved SNR.
