Popis: | Volume-selective water-suppressed proton spectra were recorded from live human brain and muscle at 1.5T by combining a stimulated echo acquisition mode pulse sequence for localization and two saturation pulses for water suppression (Frahm et al., SMRM Abstracts, 1987). Metabolite signals were observed in voxels of size 4-64 cm3. Signals from -CH3 and beta-CH2 of N-acetylaspartate, =N-CH3 and =N-CH2 of phosphocreatine/creatine, -N(CH3)3 of choline and inositol protons were visible in the brain spectra from normal subjects. Differences in metabolite levels were observed between gray and white matters of brain from their water-suppressed spectra. Peaks from =N-CH3 of phosphocreatine/creatine and -N(CH3)3 of choline and carnitine were present in normal muscle spectra along with several resonances from fatty acyl chains. |
