主权项

1. A method for performing magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging comprising:
a) providing a magnetic resonance device including (i) a main magnet for providing a background magnetic field along a first direction, (ii) at least one radio-frequency coil, and (iii) at least one gradient coil that can be controlled to define a region of interest; b) positioning a supplemental spin reservoir within a field of view of the at least one resonant coil, the supplemental spin reservoir (SSR) including a plurality of molecules; c) introducing a sample or subject to be studied into the field of view; d) introducing RF pulses into the sample or subject; e) collecting three dimensional spatial data for a set of nuclei of interest from at least one of the (i) sample or subject, and (ii) the SSR; and f) adjusting at least one of (i) the circuitry of the at least one radio frequency coil, and (ii) the contents of the SSR in order to induce electromagnetic feedback between the nuclear magnetization of the set of nuclei of interest and the at least one radio frequency coil to cause the vector direction of the nuclear magnetization of the set of nuclei of interest to rotate to a desired angle.
