Figure Lengend Snippet: Position of the spectroscopic imaging VOI, as viewed in the axial and sagittal planes. On the axial image, the outlined sections inside the VOI depict voxels typically selected for the four regions of interest, and the pattern surrounding the VOI is the area covered by the eight multiple regional saturation technique (MREST) pulses for saturating lipid signals from the scalp.

Article Snippet: Three metabolite solution phantoms—one each for NAA, Cho, and Cr—were produced to create a reference “basis” spectrum file for the LCModel (Provencher; Ontario, Canada) MR spectroscopic analysis software package, which allowed quantification of the metabolites from the in vivo data ( 14 ).
