New data are presented on the application of 7Li in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to human studies. The technique was used to monitor the between-dose pharmacokinetics of lithium (Li) in brain for three patients on Li therapy. Brain Li concentrations were at their highest from 0 to 2 hours after the peak occurred in serum concentration. Elimination from brain tissue took longer than elimination from muscle, and no signal could be detected from brain at 10 days after termination of therapy. A birdcage radiofrequency coil for 7Li was constructed and used to measure the 7Li spin-lattice relaxation time of 4.6 seconds in vivo in human head, and to acquire preliminary spectroscopic images of a phantom and human brain.
