When using a 1H or 31P multi-voxel technique for
detecting biochemical changes in longitudinal studies,
the precise and consistent voxel placement at desired
anatomical regions of interest is frequently a great
challenge. Here we propose a novel method which takes
advantage of the ability to re-shift the CSI voxel grid
after data has been collected as well as orientation
information provided by same-session volumetric T1 image
sets. This fully automated method is able to
systematically place voxels in pre-defined anatomical
locations, after which MRS signals are extracted from
those voxels for quantification.
