Abstract

Signal‐to‐noise ratios for ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C signals at 1.5 and 2.0 T were compared using a whole‐body system with a fast rampable magnet. Results indicate that SNR lies within the predicted values of linear and 7/4th power dependency with the applied magnetic field, for lossy and lossless samples, respectivety. © 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
