Abstract
NMR imaging of quadrupolar nuclei in liquid system has received less attention than the imaging ofS=1/2 nuclei due to difficulties associated with the quadrupolar interaction. The10B spatial distribution in Na2 10B12H11SH in phantom has been obtained using an indirect J-coupling Double Resonance method. This procedure allows one to localize the quadrupolar nuclei by observing the protons J-coupled with them. The sensitivity gain in the indirect spatial localization of the10B nuclei with respect to to the direct one, is here computed and verified on the Na2 10B12H11SH images.
