摘要:
A new two-dimensional NMR carbon-proton chemical shift correlation experiment, the MAS-J-HMQC experiment, is proposed for rotating solids. The magnetization transfer used to obtain the correlations is based on scalar heteronuclear J couplings. The 2D map provides through-bond chemical shift correlations between directly bonded proton carbon pairs in a similar way to corresponding high-resolution liquid state experiments. The transfer through J coupling is shown to be efficient and more selective that those based on heteronuclear dipolar couplings. The experiment, which works at high MAS spinning rates, yields the unambiguous assignment of the proton resonances. The experiment is demonstrated on several organic compounds.

The present invention concerns an apparatus (1′) for NMR spectroscopy and/or NMR imaging of a sample. The apparatus comprises a static probe comprising an outer coil for excitation of nuclei of the sample by generating an incident radio frequency field at the Larmor frequency of the nuclei, and for reception of a return radio frequency field emitted by the sample, and a sensitive inner coil (6a′) which is mounted closely around or in contact with the sample container and which is wirelessly coupled to the outer coil by an electromagnetic radio frequency field. The sensitive inner coil is embedded in an inner spinning rotor (2) which is rotatively mounted inside the static probe and which is integral with the sample container, so that the filling factor and the radio frequency field amplitude in the sensitive coil are maximized.

The cylindrical permanent magnet device includes at least one basic structure (10) having a longitudinal axis (z) and a set (20) of coaxial magnetized structures (21, 22, 23, 24) that are in the form of non-contiguous rings of axis that is the longitudinal axis (z) and that are disposed on the same side of the basic structure (10), defining an exterior surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (z) to produce a magnetic field (B0) outside the magnet device in an exterior area of interest (3) situated at a predetermined distance from the exterior surface along the longitudinal axis (z). At least one of the coaxial magnetized structures (21, 22, 23, 24) in the form of rings is divided into components in the form of non-contiguous identical sectors. The basic structure (10) and the set (20) of coaxial magnetized structures (21, 22, 23, 24) in the form of rings are magnetized in the same direction (M) to create in the exterior area of interest (3) an induced magnetic field (B0) that is homogeneous or that has a constant gradient and that is oriented at a predetermined angle (θ2) relative to the longitudinal axis (z).

A cylindrical permanent magnet device that induces in a central area of interest a homogeneous magnetic field of predetermined orientation relative to a longitudinal axis (z) of the device comprises first and second annular magnetized structures (111, 121) disposed symmetrically relative to a plane (P) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (z) and contains the central area of interest, and a third annular magnetized structure (112, 122) disposed between the first and second structures (111, 121) and also disposed symmetrically relative to the plane (P) of symmetry. The first, second, and third annular magnetized structures (111, 121, 112, 122) are divided into components in the form of sectors. The third annular magnetized structure (112, 122) is divided into at least two slices (112A, 112B, 122A, 122B) along the longitudinal axis (z) and in that all the components of the first, second and third annular magnetized structures (111, 121, 112, 122) are magnetized in the same direction to create in the central area of interest a homogeneous induced magnetic field at a predetermined angle to the longitudinal axis (z). The parts of the device may be assembled before the assembly is magnetized.

A method and system of magnetic resonance imaging does not need a large homogenous field to truncate a gradient field. Spatial information is encoded into the spin magnetization by allowing the magnetization to evolve in a non-truncated gradient field and inducing a set of 180 degree rotations prior to signal acquisition.

摘要:
Methods and systems for compensating for static magnetic field inhomogeneities during nuclear magnetic resonance detection are disclosed. Application of radio frequency pulses and/or magnetic field gradients may be used to correct for spin dephasing caused by the inhomogeneities. The methods and system may be used to improve signal-to-noise ratios in NMR and MRI systems where magnetic field inhomogeneity may have an effect.
