    Area of Science:

    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
    • Spectroscopy
    • Biophysical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Spatial distribution of chemical shifts provides crucial information about molecular environments.
    • Traditional methods for mapping chemical shifts in inhomogeneous samples are often limited in resolution or speed.
    • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful tool for chemical analysis, but spatial mapping can be challenging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a novel method for obtaining the three-dimensional distribution of chemical shifts in spatially inhomogeneous samples.
    • To utilize Fourier transform NMR with pulsed field gradients for enhanced spatial resolution.
    • To enable detailed imaging of metabolite concentrations within biological tissues.

    Main Methods:

    • A sequence of pulsed field gradients was employed to measure the Fourier transform of the chemical shift distribution.
    • Data was acquired on a rectangular grid in (k,t) space.
    • Simple Fourier inversion was used to reconstruct the three-dimensional chemical shift distribution.

    Main Results:

    • The method successfully recovers the original three-dimensional chemical shift distribution.
    • An estimated signal-to-noise ratio of 20 was achieved within a 10-minute acquisition time.
    • The technique was demonstrated for imaging a 10 mM phosphorylated metabolite in the human head at 20 kG with 2-cm resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented Fourier transform NMR method enables accurate three-dimensional chemical shift mapping.
    • Pulsed field gradients significantly enhance the ability to image metabolite distributions in biological samples.
    • This technique holds potential for non-invasive analysis of metabolic processes in vivo.
