Applications of SLIM (Spectral Localization by Imaging) localization technique

Because of the intrinsic inhomogeneity in the composition of living systems, applications of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to the biological system require techniques that can discriminate signals according to their spatial origins and detect signals only from the operator-designated regions. These techniques are called localization techniques. Many techniques have been proposed for the localization of signals and some of them have been widely accepted for clinical applications. The ideal localization technique can be characterized as one which can provide spectrum (or spectra) simultaneously from any arbitrarily-shaped region (or regions) of interest in 2 or 3 spatial dimensions within a reasonable amount of experimental time. All the localization techniques that have been suggested so far are quite limited in their abilities compared to the requirements in the above ideal conditions.
