System and methods are provided to perform non-invasive, real-time, continuous or episodic molecular detection and quantification of molecular species in a sample or animal or human subject using magnetic resonance. Such systems and methods may be applied to identify and quantify molecular species found in the body, which may be useful for many aspects of medical care including without limitation prenatal diagnosis, detecting deep skin infections, performing cerebral spinal fluid assessment, measuring arterial blood gases, blood glucose, cardiac biomarkers, and creatinine flow rates. The non-invasive, quantification of such molecular species continuously in real time enables significantly more attractive methods of diagnosis, monitoring and therapy than existing methods and protocols. |
