Abstract
Improvements in crossed images are presented by application of snapshot FLASH MRImaging which reduces the imaging time in localizedin vivo NMR spectroscopy. The method enables correlation of the volume of interest with its surroundings and determines the set of offset frequencies of the selective RF pulses to locate the volume of interest.
