NMR Relaxometer–Spectrometer with Continuous Generation of the HF Field for Studying Biological Objects

A compact nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometer–spectrometer with the continuous generation of the high-frequency energy and double magnetic field modulation has been designed for studying biological objects. Spin–lattice relaxation times and second-derivative spectra of the NMR signals have been measured. The relationship between the shape of the spectrum and the spin–lattice relaxation time has been established. This device is supposed to be used for the noninvasive measurement of the glucose concentration in the human blood from the measurement of the spin–lattice relaxation time and the NMR spectrum in a finger of a human hand.
