A surface gradient coil designed to obtain localized magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the heart in vivo is described. Images and 31 P spectra from phantoms and both pig and dog hearts in vivo are shown. The coil was used in conjunction with a rf surface coil to obtain 31 P spectra from transmural sections of the left ventricular wall of a dog heart in vivo to demonstrate differences between normal and ischemic tissue. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.
