Detection of homonuclear decoupled in vivo proton NMR spectra using constant time chemical shift encoding: CT-PRESS

W Dreher, D Leibfritz - Magnetic resonance imaging, 1999 - Elsevier
A new pulse sequence, termed CT-PRESS, is presented, which allows the detection of in
vivo 1H NMR spectra with effective homonuclear decoupling. A PRESS sequence with a
short echo-time TE, used for spatial localization, is supplemented by an additional 180°
pulse. The temporal position of this 180° pulse is shifted within a series of experiments,
while the time interval between signal excitation and detection is kept constant. CT-PRESS
is a two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopic experiment as far as data acquisition and …
