Abstract
The pulse sequences for magnetic resonance imaging outlined in Chap. 25 are in principle applicable to any nuclide providing detectable NMR signals. The number of potential applications is therefore innumerable. However, lack of sensitivity limits the versatility in this respect. This may be a consequence of low natural abundance of the isotope, low abundance of the element, or low gyromagnetic ratios. Other factors such as extremely short relaxation times may also play a restrictive role.
