Patent ID: 7535224

Claim:
A discrete magic angle turning (DMAT) system for in situ Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging, the system comprising: a discrete magic angle turning (DMAT) device having a rotor assembly that provides rotation of a sample or specimen in a clockwise and an anti-clockwise rotation direction through a rotation angle greater than or equal to about 240 degrees and less than or equal to about 360 degrees, the rotation of the sample or the specimen is provided about an axis inclined at an angle of 54°44′ relative to a static magnetic field (B 0 ) in a radio frequency (RF) magnetic field (B 1 ) that is pulsed in conjunction with an RF pulse sequence or segment; and a speed controlling device operably coupled that synchronizes rotation of the sample or specimen at constant speed through the rotation angle during the evolution period of the RF pulse sequence or segment.
