Abstract

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the human brain has developed rapidly during the recent years. The techniques currently used include measurements in a single volume of interest or position-encoded spectroscopy (chemical shift imaging, CSI). The pulse sequences are based on stimulated echo techniques, (STEAM) (Frahm et al., 1989) or double spin echo techniques (compare Luyten et al., 1991) preceeded by water signal suppression pulses.
