Synopsis

The use of traps as well as the use of switching circuitry to develop multinuclear coils is well established. However, it is well known that the use of traps introduces undesired losses to one or more nuclei in the structure while switching eliminates applications requiring true simultaneous imaging. As a result, our group developed a triple-tuned volume coil that solely uses geometric decoupling using only two structures. The coil demonstrated homogeneous fields with sufficient decoupling between the structures to acquire multinuclear NMR data.
