Squid Detected Nmr And Mri At Ultralow Fields

US Patent:
7116102, Oct 3, 2006
Filed:
Mar 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/277550
Inventors:
John Clarke - Berkeley CA, US
Robert McDermott - Louisville CO, US
Alexander Pines - Berkeley CA, US
Andreas Heinz Trabesinger - Zurich, CH
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G01V 3/00
US Classification:
324300, 324306, 600421
Abstract:
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals are detected in microtesla fields. Prepolarization in millitesla fields is followed by detection with an untuned dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. Because the sensitivity of the SQUID is frequency independent, both signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spectral resolution are enhanced by detecting the NMR signal in extremely low magnetic fields, where the NMR lines become very narrow even for grossly inhomogeneous measurement fields. MRI in ultralow magnetic field is based on the NMR at ultralow fields. Gradient magnetic fields are applied, and images are constructed from the detected NMR signals.
