1. A method for NMR measurements of an arbitrarily shaped region of interest of a living subject, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) applying a broad bandwidth of RF pulses to the arbitrarily shaped region of interest to obtain a corresponding spectrum, wherein substantially entire range of chemical shifts in the spectrum is excited from the arbitrarily shaped region of interest;

    (b) interleaving a plurality of radial k-lines in radial k-space per excitation with non-selective refocusing pulses; and

    (c) obtaining spatial localization for the spectrum of the arbitrarily shaped region of interest.
