Magnetic fast imaging

Even with the application of the above mentioned fast imaging techniques, the spatial resolution is still limited by the minimum S/N which can be achieved in the time reserved for the spectroscopic examination. We feel that with the currently available instrumentation the maximum resolution should be around 0.6 cm3. Representative spectra obtained with this resolution at 3 T magnetic field strength...
