Problem 0 - Imaging on Cylinder

Flow is along y-axis

What are the acquired image and the velocity, position, diffusion signatures?


Problem 1 - Periodic

  • Show that for average over φ, we get pure absorptive line-shape, and for a particular isochromat, average over φ in general has dispersive line-shape (Show the response in cylindrical coordinate)
  • Normal shim: x,y (first order spherical harmonic). Show that if there are terms x^2-y^2, xy, then the sideband will show up at twice Ω
  • Calculate the FID and the spectrum for rotary vs non-rotary, then plot them on top of each other


Problem 2 - Chemical Shift

  • Show that chemical shift tensor






  • Show that under random rapid motion spins



It average out any non-isometric parts, so we have a homogeneous sample. So the result does not depend on the orientation of the sample.

When η = 0 -> < 3cos(θ)^2 -1 > = 0, average over sphere

  • η = 0 ; calculate the line-shape for static powder (constant orientation with magnetic field), η ≠ 0 ; reduce to a summation over η. [Hint: can be written in elliptical integral, check out appendix I ]
  • Find σ(θ,φ), powder distribution of the sample (when spinning at the magic angle ?)


Problem 3 - Decoherence

  • What is the contribution of the chemical shift anisotropy to T2?


Problem 4 - Carl-Purcell Sequence

  • Look at diffusive attenuation of water rotating in magnetic field gradient. Show that the faster you rotate it, the effective T2 is approaching T2.


Problem 5 - Chemical Exchange

  • Show the plot of the chemical exchange (when τ|ΔωA-ΔωB| approaching 1, the 2 peaks merge at the center) [Hint: check out appendix F]


Problem 6 - Slow Exchange

  • Show that by collect this terms in slow exchange



then do phase cycle and collect data set



Then we get pure absorptive line-shape

  • No labels
