Recently, it has been shown that MRS can be analyzed by a convolutional neural network (CNN) with concentrations quantified in a relative way. Here, we propose to scale in vivo MRS data according to water signal in simulated spectra and in vivo data so that CNN spectra can be scaled to institutional units for possible between subject comparison. Our results show that the quantified metabolites are at the same level as those quantified using LCModel with water scaling method but with less repeatability. A further phantom study is necessary to validate the proposed method.
