MRI Using Intermolecular Multiple-Quantum Coherences

Intermolecular multiple-quantum coherences (iMQCs) can generate NMR signals from exceedingly small dipolar interactions between distant spins in solutions. In the last few years, these signals have been used for a wide range of applications in imaging and high-resolution spectroscopy. Recent applications include MRI contrast enhancement, suppression of inhomogeneous broadening in NMR experiments, and more recently, in vivo temperature measurement. In this chapter, we describe how basic iMQC pulse sequences work and how to select the sequence parameters to optimize iMQC signals and to overcome signal contamination.
