A method is introduced for obtaining proton spectra in vivo with all the advantages of a full water signal, based on F1 oversampled J‐resolved spectroscopy, that makes it possible to separate metabolite signals from unwanted baseline artifacts.
Abstract
A method is introduced for obtaining proton spectra in vivo with all the advantages of a full water signal. The method, based on F1 oversampled J-resolved spectroscopy, makes it possible to separate metabolite signals from unwanted baseline artifacts. The dominant water resonance is used as a 2D reference signal for the phase-sensitive reconstruction of the 2D J-resolved metabolite spectra. The powerful specificity of this method is demonstrated with model compound spectra, phantoms, and in vivo examples.

Toward an in Vivo Neurochemical Profile: Quantification of 18 Metabolites in Short-Echo-Time 1H NMR Spectra of the Rat Brain

TL;DR: Frequency domain analysis with LCModel showed that the in vivo spectra can be explained by 18 metabolite model solution spectra and a highly structured background, which was attributed to resonances with fivefold shorter in vivo T(1) than metabolites.

Issues of spectral quality in clinical 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy and a gallery of artifacts

TL;DR: This article aims to increase interest in issues of spectral quality and quality assessment, to start a larger debate on generally accepted criteria that spectra must fulfil to be clinically and scientifically acceptable, and to provide a sample gallery of artifacts, which can be used to raise awareness for potential pitfalls in MRS.

Measurement of brain glutamate using TE-averaged PRESS at 3T.

TL;DR: A method is introduced that provides improved in vivo spectroscopic measurements of glutamate (Glu), glutamine (Gln), choline (Cho), creatine (Cre), N‐acetyl compounds (NAtot, NAA + NAAG), and the inositols (mI and sI), and it was found that at 3T, TE averaging, the f1 = 0 slice of a 2D J‐resolved spectrum, yielded unobstructed signals.
