Background: The minimum admissible detuning efficiency (DE) of a receive coil is an essential parameter for coil designers. A receive coil with inefficient detuning leads to inhomogeneous B1 during excitation. Previously proposed criteria for quantifying the DE rely on indirect measurements and are difficult to implement. Purpose: To present an alternative method to quantify the DE of receive‐only surface coils. Study Type: Theoretical study supported by simulations and phantom experiments. Phantoms: Uniform spherical (100 mm diameter) and cylindrical (66 mm diameter) phantoms. Field Strength/Sequence: Dual repetition time B1 mapping sequence at 1.5T, and Bloch‐Siegert shift B1 mapping sequence at 3.0T. Assessment: One non‐planar (80 × 43 mm2) and two planar (40 and 57 mm diameter) surface coils were built. Theoretical analysis was performed to determine the minimum DE required to avoid B1 distortions. Experimental B1 maps were acquired for the non‐planar and planar surface coils at both 1.5T and 3.0T and visually compared with simulated B1 maps to assess the validity of the theoretical analysis. Statistical Tests: None. Results: Based on the theoretical analysis, the proposed minimum admissible DE, defined as DEthr = 20 Log (Q) + 13 dB, depended only on the quality factor (Q) of the coil and was independent of coil area and field strength. Simulations and phantom experiments showed that when the DE was higher than this minimum threshold level, the B1 field generated by the transmission coil was not modified by the receive coil. Data Conclusion: The proposed criterion for assessing the DE is simple to measure, and does not depend on the area of the coil or on the magnetic field strength, up to 3T. Experimental and simulated B1 maps confirmed that detuning efficiencies above the theoretically derived minimal admissible DE resulted in a non‐distorted B1 field.

- Abstract
An example of zeolite selectivity (MFI → MOR) driven by synthesis aging time has been studied. Using N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-N,N′-dipropyl-ethylenediammonium diiodide (TMDP) as an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA), the zeolite phases obtained at 2 h (MFI 97%), 8 h (MFI 84%, MOR 16%) and 24 h (MFI 43%, MOR 57%) have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The results suggest that at intermediate aging time, namely 8 h and 24 h, the dominant phase (MFI) is displaced by MOR. Different techniques (FT-IR, Raman, 13C MAS NMR, TGA/DTG and HC microanalysis) have been employed to verify the OSDA integrity and occlusion inside the zeolite micropores as well as to quantify the water and OSDA loading. The 1H MAS NMR of the as-made occluded zeolite was compared with the spectra of TMDP and the recovered OSDA from the sample by extraction with water. The comparison indicated that TMDP was not structurally intact, indicating the chemical transformation of TMDP to imidazolinium homologues through the Hofmann degradation process. Furthermore, careful acidic breakdown of the aluminosilicate shell, covered on the zeolite samples by hydrofluoric acid, revealed that the remaining OSDA had been partially degraded to lower molecular weight ammonium salt, confirmed by 1H NMR and mass spectrometry measurements. A computational study was performed by using a force field based methodology, including accurate loading of water and OSDA in the zeolite (MFI and MOR) unit cells. The results show an important contribution of the presence of water. The samples with larger aging time (8 h and 24 h) incorporate less water and show partial TMDP degradation, whilst at the shortest aging time (2 h), there is a larger water content and TMDP remains intact. The larger accessible volume of MFI justifies that this is the dominant phase at short aging times (large water content) since it can accommodate a larger number of water molecules than MOR. The OSDA partial degradation also plays a role. A

We present novel means to hyperpolarize deuterium nuclei in
13 CD2 groups at cryogenic temperatures. The method is based on cross-polarization from1 H to13 C and does not require any radio-frequency fields applied to the deuterium nuclei. After rapid dissolution, a new class of longlived spin states can be detected indirectly by13 C NMR in solution. These long-lived states result from a sextet-triplet imbalance (STI) that involves the two equivalent deuterons with spin I = 1. An STI has similar properties as a triplet-singlet imbalance that can occur in systems with two equivalent I = 1=2 spins. Although the lifetimes TSTI are shorter than T1 (Cz ), they can exceed the life-time T1 (Dz ) of deuterium Zeeman magnetization by a factor of more than 20. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Although Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been discovered more than seventy years ago, it is still thriving and alive, covering a broad spectrum of applications in science, technology and industry. One of the most ubiquitous applications of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is an imaging technique dubbed Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which has found many applications in science, technology, and particularly in medicine. Fourier or k-encoding techniques are MRI methods based on acquiring a magnetic resonance signal as a function of the parameter “k”, a subsequent Fourier transform then will convert the signal to an image. Although nowadays Fourier techniques are prominent in MRI, there are other alternatives, among which spatial encoding, the main subject of this dissertation, should be mentioned. In spatial encoding (also known as time- or spatiotemporal-encoding), signal acquisition is performed in such a way that the signal intensity itself resembles the object. Consequently, in spatial encoding there is no need for a Fourier transform for image reconstruction.Single-scan hybrid imaging techniques that use traditional k-encoding in one direction, and spatial (time-)encoding in the other have been shown to be superior to traditional full k-encoding methods (that use k-encoding in both directions) in suppressing the effects of frequency variations (caused by inhomogeneous magnetic fields, the presence of more than one chemical shift, or any other frequency variation) and lead to images that are much less distorted than traditional single-scan imaging methods. In this dissertation the main idea behind spatial encoding magnetic resonance imaging will be introduced. Image formation and image properties in different spatial encoding sequences will also be briefly investigated.Then, the effects of diffusion on an established hybrid sequence called “Rapid Acquisition by Sequential Excitation and Refocusing, RASER” are investigated. It will be shown that in spatial encoding sequences, the attenuation of the signal due to diffusion is often not uniform across the entire object, leading to misleading contrast in the image. In order to eliminate this misleading contrast, a double-chirp RASER (DC-RASER) pulse sequence is proposed in this work. The experimental results are in accordance with our theoretical investigations about the effects of diffusion in these sequences. They also confirm that the signal attenuation due to diffusion is uniform, as expected theoretically for DC-RASER.In order to develop applications of single-scan spatial encoding MRI we show how one can enhance the contrast in the original RASER sequence. By changing the timing of the pulse sequence, we achieved a variant of RASER called Echo-Shifted RASER (ES-RASER), which provides a tunable contrast level.Finally, we show how one can improve a few aspects of the available time-encoding sequences. By rearranging positive and negative gradients we show how one can reduce the switching rate of the gradients. This is important because fast gradient switching is not always technically feasible; in addition, it may unwittingly stimulate the patient’s nervous system. By using an additional gradient we can change the detection order in the original time-encoding sequence. This leads to an identical echo-time for all echoes, and hence a uniform signal attenuation due to relaxation. Furthermore, we show how one can implement time-encoding sequences in an interleaved fashion in order to reduce signal attenuation due to diffusion.; Il y a plus de soixante-dix ans que la résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN) a été découverte, mais elle est toujours prospère et vivante, couvrant un large éventail d'applications dans les sciences, technologies et industries.

En réarrangeant les gradients positifs et négatifs, nous montrons comment on peut réduire la vitesse de la commutation des gradients. Ceci est important, car une commutation rapide des gradients n'est pas toujours techniquement possible et peut en plus stimuler involontairement le système nerveux du patient. En utilisant un gradient supplémentaire, nous avons pu modifier l'ordre de détection dans la séquence originale d’encodage temporel.

A low-energy collision induced dissociation (CID) (low-energy CID) approach that can determine both activation energy and activation entropy has been used to evaluate gas-phase binding energies of host-guest (H-G) complexes of a heteroditopic hemicryptophane cage host (Zn (II)@1) with a series of biologically relevant guests. In order to use this approach, preliminary calibration of the effective temperature of ions undergoing resonance excitation is required. This was accomplished by employing blackbody infrared radiative dissociation (BIRD) which allows direct measurement of activation parameters. Activation energies and pre-exponential factors were evaluated for more than 10 H-G complexes via the use of low-energy CID. The relatively long residence time of the ions inside the linear ion trap (maximum of 60 s) allowed the study of dissociations with rates below 1 s
-1 . This possibility, along with the large size of the investigated ions, ensures the fulfilment of rapid energy exchange (REX) conditions and, as a consequence, accurate application of the Arrhenius equation. Compared with the BIRD technique, low-energy CID allows access to higher effective temperatures, thereby permitting one to probe more endothermic decomposition pathways. Based on the measured activation parameters, guests bearing a phosphate (-OPO3 2- ) functional group were found to bind more strongly with the encapsulating cage than those having a sulfonate (-SO³- ) group; however, the latter ones make stronger bonds than those with a carboxylate (-CO2 - ) group. In addition, it was observed that the presence of trimethylammonium (-N(CH3)3 + ) or phenyl groups in the guest's structure improves the strength of H-G interactions. The use of this technique is very straightforward, and it does not require any instrumental modifications. Thus, it can be applied to other H-G chemistry studies where comparison of bond dissociation energies is of paramount importance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

We discuss from the perspective of relaxation dynamics the feasibility of recording NMR spectra of 33S nuclei bound to cross-link junctions in cross-linked elastomers (i.e. vulcanized rubber). Assuming the quadrupolar relaxation mechanism due to fluctuating electric field gradients, the calculations of transverse and longitudinal 33S relaxation times encompassing a large range of correlation times, static magnetic fields, and quadrupolar coupling constants reveal that both relaxation processes will constitute significant bottlenecks in recording the 33S spectra of cross-linked elastomers inherently endowed with a large distribution of motional modes. In the rubbery state, the observable 33S NMR signal will result from motionally averaged, central transition magnetization of the 33S nuclei in cross-link junctions involved in large amplitude, high-frequency motions.

- Abstract
Introduction: Interventional cardiac MRI in the context of the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia requires submillimeter image resolution to precisely characterize the cardiac substrate and guide the catheter-based ablation procedure in real-time. Conventional MRI receiver coils positioned on the thorax provide insufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatial selectivity to satisfy these constraints., Methods: A small circular MRI receiver coil was developed and evaluated under different experimental conditions, including high-resolution MRI anatomical and thermometric imaging at 1.5 T. From the perspective of developing a therapeutic MR-compatible catheter equipped with a receiver coil, we also propose alternative remote active detuning techniques of the receiver coil using one or two cables. Theoretical details are presented, as well as simulations and experimental validation., Results: Anatomical images of the left ventricle at 170 µm in-plane resolution are provided on ex vivo beating heart from swine using a 2 cm circular receiver coil. Taking advantage of the increase of SNR at its vicinity (up to 35 fold compared to conventional receiver coils), real-time MR-temperature imaging can reach an uncertainty below 0.1°C at the submillimetric spatial resolution. Remote active detuning using two cables has similar decoupling efficiency to conventional on-site decoupling, at the cost of an acceptable decrease in the resulting SNR., Discussion: This study shows the potential of small dimension surface coils for minimally invasive therapy of cardiac arrhythmia intraoperatively guided by MRI. The proposed remote decoupling approaches may simplify the construction process and reduce the cost of such single-use devices., Competing Interests: MD did part of her Ph.D as an employee of Siemens Healthineers. The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (© 2023 Marhabaie, Delcey, El Hamrani, Vaillant, Ginefri, Ozenne, Abell, Poirier-Quinot and Quesson.)
