Axial, sagittal, and coronal 3D nLac maps as a function of nominal excitation angles for pyruvate and lactate, when: (a) θP = θL = 10°; (b) θP = θL = 20°; (c) θP = θL = 30°; (d) θP = θL = 60°; (e) θP = 10°, θL = 30°; (f) θP = 20°, θL = 30°. The dashed red contour lines in (a) and (b) highlight the boundaries of the volume that produces deviations in nLac within ±5% of the nLac value found at isocenter of the coil. The solid red contour lines in (b) through (f) highlight the boundaries of the volume that produces deviations in nLac within ±10% of the nLac value found at isocenter.
