Notes:
We present a coil designed for in vivo 31P and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy which consists of a doubly tuned resonator inductively coupled to separate 1H and 31P feed coils. The advantages of the resonator include the ability to 1H shim over the same volume from which 31P spectra are extracted by using a single sample coil, elimination of coupling problems between separate 1H and 31P coils, ease of design and tuning over conventional double-tuned coils, and reduced match/tune sensitivity to coil loading, which is important in in vivo applications. We have used this coil to collect phosphorus spectra from the in situ heart of the western painted turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii) at 2 T. The total heart volume was less than 1 mL and acquisition time was just under 10 min. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
