The influence of pulse angle variations in the localization sequence stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) on the signal of strongly coupled AB spin systems has been examined. Experimental 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of citrate were recorded on a 1.5 T whole-body imager. Theoretically calculated spectra were generated, with good correlation to experimental results. The dependence of the signal intensity on sequence timing and pulse angles was calculated analytically. For longer sequence timings, the ratio of the signal intensity from citrate to the signal intensity from uncoupled nuclei depends strongly on the applied flip angles. The shape of spectra also changes with varying flip angles. These effects are clearly less pronounced for STEAM than for point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS). The results have to be considered for quantitative measurements of citrate in spectroscopic investigations as, e.g. of prostate neoplasms.
