Calcium NMR

By using very low frequencies - kilohertz rather than megahertz - NMR in solids should provide a number of benefits. Including; averaging (1000 times more time to move), low cost magnetic field, broad range of acoustic and low power detectors and sensors, can record long randomly excited responses to extract spectra with milliHertz and microHertz accuracies.

Earth's field NMR,

Calcium in bone should have enough mass and specificity to do skeletal Ca imaging. Combine with Phosphorus.

Elemental Composition of the Human Body

Sodium chemical shifts should be sensitive to pH. Can be used to track neural activity.
