Abstract
The purpose of spectrum analysis as applied to MRS data obtained from in vivo tissue is to ascertain physiologically important parameters such as the relative or absolute concentrations of metabolites and the intracellular pH. These can be determined from the areas and positions of peaks in the spectrum. In order that the measurements reflect the actual tissue values, the processes by which spectra are analyzed must be objective, repeatable, and capable of satisfying quality-control tests. For a valid interpretation of MRS results, the user should be fully aware of the manner in which the raw data has been processed and of any problems that could affect the outcome of the analytical techniques used.
