Summary

Now reprinted and available in paperback, this book is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of NMR spectroscopy in its many forms. It presents the whole range of Fourier Transform NMR techniques, including 2D NMR and NMR imaging. The first three chapters cover the basic physics of magnetic resonance and the mathematical background to Fourier techniques. The following chapters concentrate on pulsed NMR spectroscopy, including the new multipulse sequences, from a theoretical and practical approach. The final chapters deal with the important topic of nuclear relaxation and the novel technique of 2D NMR. The principles of NMR imaging are discussed in detail including medical applications. Containing a wealth of information on techniques and methods, the book provides the reader with a sound base from which to apply Fourier NMR techniques to the many areas of science where they are proving of most value. It is a must for undergraduate and postgraduate students in chemistry and physics, medical students involved in imaging and radiology, NMR spectrometer and NMR imaging manufacturers, and NMR research scientists.
