The limited chemical shift dispersion of in uiuo "P NMR spectra obtained at the relatively low field strengths used for human applications is the cause of poor spectral resolution. This makes it di8fidt to obtain accurate quantitative information from overlapping resonances, and interesting resonances may be obscured. At 1.5 T unresolved 'H-3'P couplings contribute significantly to the liewidth of in uiuo "P NMR resonances. Therefore, proton decoupliig can improve spectral resolution substantially, resulting in better resolved resonances and more reliable quantitative information. In this work it is shown that well resolved resonances of glycerophosphocholine, glycerophosphoethanolamine and phosphoethanolamine are obtained in ' H decoupled "P N M R spectra of human muscle, brain, and liver. In spectra of the human heart it has been possible to resolve the myocardial Pi signal from the signals of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate from blood. With surface coils it is dficult to achieve broadband decoupliig over the entire sensitive region of the coil by using conventional decoupling sequences. This problem has been overcome by applying a train of frequency modulated inversion pulses to achieve proper decoupliig despite B, inhomogeneity. Broadband 'H decoupling of "P NMR spectra was possible without exceeding specific absorption rate guidelines.
