A 1-11 water suppression pulse sequence for phase-distortion-free surface coil NMR spectroscopy was constructed and tested in vivo on cat brain. The sequence produces brain spectra free of phase distortions, but some degradation of water suppression quality compared to closely related sequences which produce phase distortions was observed.
