Fast magnetic resonance force microscopy with Hadamard encoding
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a spatial encoding technique for magnetic resonance force microscopy that allows for a much enhanced image acquisition rate. The technique uses multiplexing, based on spatial Hadamard encoding, to acquire several slices of the image simultaneously and at an undiminished signal-to-noise ratio. We demonstrate an improvement in imaging time by a factor of 7.6, and further advances can be expected.

Reducing acquisition times in multidimensional NMR with a time-optimized Fourier encoding algorithm.
Speeding up the acquisition of multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra is an important topic in contemporary NMR, with central roles in high-throughput investigations and analyses of marginally stable samples. A variety of fast NMR techniques have been developed, including methods based on non-uniform sampling and Hadamard encoding, that overcome the long sampling times inhere...
متن کاملImaging using Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy
We demonstrate one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the semiconductor GaAs with 170 nanometer slice separation and resolve two regions of reduced nuclear spin polarization density separated by only 500 nanometers. This is achieved by force detection of the magnetic resonance, Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM), in combination with optical pumping to increase the nuclear...
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy of Chromatin
Atomic force microscopy or scanning tunneling microscopy (AFM/STM) is a powerful single molecule tool for the visualization of biological materials at sub-nanometer resolution. AFM is versatile because it can directly measure physical properties due to its sensitivity at picoNewton force scales, thus enabling dissection of molecular forces. STM/AFM has been considered revolutionary since its di...
متن کاملHadamard slice encoding for reduced-FOV diffusion-weighted imaging.
PURPOSE To improve the clinical utility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) by extending the slice coverage of a high-resolution reduced field-of-view technique. THEORY Challenges in achieving high spatial resolution restrict the use of DWI in assessment of small structures such as the spinal cord. A reduced field-of-view method with 2D echo-planar radiofrequency (RF) excitation was recently ...
متن کاملNon-spin-echo 3D transverse hadamard encoded proton spectroscopic imaging in the human brain.
A non-spin-echo multivoxel proton MR localization method based on three-dimensional transverse Hadamard spectroscopic imaging is introduced and demonstrated in a phantom and the human brain. Spatial encoding is achieved with three selective 90° radiofrequency pulses along perpendicular axes: The first two create a longitudinal ±M(Z) Hadamard order in the volume of interest. The third pulse spat...
