We tested the feasibility of Proton/Lithium MR imaging using a dual-tuned RF array. To evaluate the coil performance, SNR at 1) three ROIs, 2) different thicknesses and 3) different concentrations were measured. SNR was ~90-180 at different ROIs and spectrum at different concentration was compared using 2D CSI sequence.
