Abstract:
1. A method for improving detection of a weakly-sensitive atomic nucleus type in MR spectroscopy, comprising the steps of: subjecting an examination subject, containing a strongly-sensitive atomic nucleus type A and an MR-active, weakly-sensitive atomic nucleus type X, to a MR spectroscopic pulse sequence, including radiating a plurality of RF pulses at respectively different frequencies; in said MR spectroscopic pulse sequence, radiating said plurality of RF pulses in a sequence with respective, predetermined time intervals between successive RF pulses in said sequence, with none of said RF pulses being radiated simultaneously or overlapping one another, to produce a polarization transfer of said strongly-sensitive atomic nucleus type A and said weakly-sensitive atomic nucleus type X by radiating a first A-selective 90 acquiring a magnetic resonance signal as an FID signal from said subject after a time T
