Abstract

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) 1D flow measurement technique is described and demonstrated experimentally. The technique uses a "meander coil" in the NMR probe for the radio frequency (rf) excitation and detection. The meander coil gives rise to highly inhomogeneous B1 field, whose direction varies linearly as a function of spatial coordinates. The detected NMR signal acquires a frequency shift which is proportional to the speed of the nuclear spin. In a sense, this frequency shift is similar to the Doppler shift. The flow speed can be measured by one free induction decay (FID) without applying B0 field gradient.
