  • Digital filter for NMR an MRI applications
    Patent number: 7071691
    Abstract: A method for operating a magnetic resonance spectrometer with a digital filter whose input is fed with an NMR signal of a time length TA, and whose output signal consists of a rising oscillation B1 of a length TB, a signal portion [F]? which consists of a filtered FID or echo signal of the length TA and a decaying oscillation B2 of a length TB, wherein this output signal is initially modified using a calculation process RV, and is subsequently transformed by Fourier transformation to a desired NMR spectrum, is characterized in that, during the calculation process RV, only the signal portion [F]? is initially selected, at least N copies of the rising oscillation B1 are subsequently generated in positive time shifts TA with respect to each other and are positioned on the signal portion [F?] in time such that the end of the first rising oscillation is positioned at the end of the signal portion, at least N copies of the decaying oscillation B2 are generated in negative shifts TA and are positioned on the signal
