The aim of this study is to derive an analytical model
that takes into account the effects of the chemical
shift displacement artefact (in three dimensions) on
J-modulation of weakly coupled spins in the STEAM
sequence. The signal modulation obtained theoretically
was compared to the one obtained experimentally using a
lactate phantom. This work demonstrated that significant
changes in the coupled-spin response arise due to the
chemical shift displacement artefact, especially at
ultra-high magnetic field strengths. This model provides
a means to predict the resulting lineshapes of
metabolites of AXn form and is a useful tool for
optimization of sequence timing parameters.
