¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)01:20

¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)

1.8K
When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals

1.7K
Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...

NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction

1.2K
When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.5K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

NMR Spectrometers: Radiofrequency Pulses and Pulse Sequences

2.0K
A pulse is a short burst of radio waves distributed over a range of frequencies that simultaneously excites all the nuclei in the sample. Upon passing a radio frequency pulse along the x-axis, the nuclei absorb energy corresponding to their Larmor frequencies and achieve resonance. This shifts the net magnetization vector from the z-axis toward the transverse plane. This angle of rotation of the magnetization vector, or the flip angle, is proportional to the duration and intensity of the pulse.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods

758
Different methods, such as visual observance of metal-ion indicators, spectroscopic techniques, and potentiometric methods, can determine the endpoint of an EDTA titration.
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Neuroimaging Techniques

Background:

  • Echo planar imaging (EPI) is susceptible to geometric distortions.
  • Accurate distortion correction is crucial for reliable functional MRI (fMRI) analysis, especially in the presence of subject motion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel distortion correction method for EPI.
  • The method aims to enable accurate measurement of dynamic B0 changes and improve image fidelity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes single-echo EPI with alternating echo times (jittering).
  • Calculates field maps from phase images to correct distortions in magnitude images.
  • Optimized using analytical models and compared against dual-echo EPI field maps.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method achieved accurate unwarping even with head rotations up to 8.2 degrees.
  • Distortions in activated regions were reduced to less than 1 mm.
  • No significant reduction in blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) sensitivity was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The developed EPI distortion correction method is robust in the presence of motion.
  • The technique preserves BOLD sensitivity, making it suitable for various fMRI applications.
  • This approach enhances the reliability of fMRI studies by providing accurate spatial localization.
