13C MRS of Human Brain at 7 Tesla Using 2-13CGlucoseInfusion and Low Power Broadband Stochastic Proton Decoupling

摘要

Purpose¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of human brain at 7 Tesla (T) may pose patient safety issues due to high RF power deposition for proton decoupling. The purpose of present work is to study the feasibility of in vivo ¹³C MRS of human brain at 7 T using broadband low RF power proton decoupling.
