Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy without water suppression is possible but is hampered by the presence of sideband artifacts. The aim of this study was to develop a chemical shift imaging method without water suppression for clinical routine with reduced sideband artifacts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Spectra from ten healthy volunteers were acquired using a 3T (TimTrio, Siemens, Erlagen, Germany) scanner with a Point RESolved Spectroscopy sequence for volume selection. Postprocessing was performed in three steps: correcting the water peak position in all spectra (chemical shift correction), subtracting the Gaussian convolution of all free induction decay signals (FIDs) (water signal reduction), and subtracting the FID of a water phantom from the volunteer's FID signal (reduction of sidebands). For the postprocessing customized software was developed with Matlab 2007b. RESULTS: The described technique provides spectra with reduced water signal and sidebands. Quantitative analysis showed that there is a good agreement between spectra obtained with water suppressing radiofrequency pulses and the new method. Moreover, spectra obtained with the new method do not need phase correction. CONCLUSION: The new method offers sufficient reduction of the water peak and sidebands. Its simplicity allows its use in clinical applications.
