We present a user-friendly application which implements a new algorithm for the automatic placement of spatial saturation planes to conform a magnetic resonance spectroscopy excitation volume to an arbitrarily shaped tissue of interest. The new algorithm is capable of constructing a conformed voxel in a fraction of a second, orders of magnitude faster than previous methods, while achieving comparable coverage of the tissue of interest.
