Selection of K-space samples in localized MR spectroscopy of arbitrary volumes of interest

Abstract:
A number of image modeling techniques have been proposed to represent magnetic resonance spectroscopic images. The goal of these techniques is to reduce the amount of data and thus the time required to reconstruct the image. However, little attention has been given to the choice of k-space samples. The combination of samples acquired has a great effect on the quality of the reconstructed image. A new method for optimizing the choice of k-space samples--in which samples from a candidate set are sequentially eliminated in a computationally efficient manner until the desired number remain--is presented and demonstrated by means of simulations.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...
