PURPOSE An L2-regularization based postprocessing method is proposed and tested for removal of residual or unsuppressed water signals in proton MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data recorded from the human brain at 3T. METHODS Water signals are removed by implementation of the L2 regularization using a synthesized water-basis matrix that is orthogonal to metabolite signals of interest in the spectral dimension. Simulated spectra with variable water amplitude and in vivo brain MRSI datasets were used to demonstrate the proposed method. Results were compared with two commonly-used postprocessing methods for removing water signals. RESULTS The L2 method yielded metabolite signals that were close to true values for the simulated spectra. Residual/unsuppressed water signals in human brain short- and long-echo time MRSI datasets were efficiently removed by the proposed method allowing good quality metabolite maps to be reconstructed with minimized contamination from water signals. Significant differences of the creatine signal were observed between brain long-echo time MRSI without and with water saturation, attributable to the previously described magnetization transfer effect. CONCLUSIONS With usage of a synthesized water matrix generated based on reasonable prior knowledge about water and metabolite resonances, the L2 method is shown to be an effective way to remove water signals from MRSI of the human brain.read more

Test-retest reproducibility of human brain multi-slice 1H FID-MRSI data at 9.4 T after optimization of lipid regularization, macromolecular model and spline baseline stiffness
TL;DR: L2-regularization provided effective suppression of lipid-artifacts, but should be avoided if no artifacts are detected, and results from the second measurements of the same subjects show that slice positioning and data quality correlate significantly to the first measurement.

TL;DR: The AGNOSTIC dataset as discussed by the authors contains 259,200 synthetic 1H MRS examples for training and testing neural networks, which is intended to be acquisition-agnostic by using 270 basis sets that were simulated across 18 field strengths, 15 echo times, and a range of dwell times.

Spatial localization in NMR spectroscopy in vivo.
TL;DR: DRESS is a simple and versatile localization procedure that is readily adaptable to spectral relaxation time measurements by adding inversion or spin-echo refocusing pulses or to in vivo solvent-suppressed spectroscopy of proton (1H) metabolites using a combination of chemical-selective RF pulses.
