A susceptibility matched endorectal coil was tested and
compared against a classical endorectal coil design. For
different phantom angulations, it enabled a significant
decrease (~30%) of the FWHM of spectra acquired on in
vitro NMR tubes. These promising results and the
restricted FWHM observed suggest the interest of this
new coil for the acquisition of in vivo spectra
especially for the characterization of the colorectal
cancer.
