NMR
spectroscopy has the potential to provide clinically
useful data, but it has seen limited use due to poor
Signal-to-Noise Ratio. The use of array coils to improve
SNR is well established in MRI and is extremely
attractive for less-sensitive nuclei such as
13
C.
Array receivers on clinical systems are usually
1
H
only, but frequency translation with RF mixers allows us
to adapt
1
H
receivers for use with other nuclei. By careful
selection of the frequency mixed to, we can even perform
1
H
decoupled
13
C
spectroscopy with a frequency translating receiver.
