In Vivo spectroscopic imaging of Gly is challenging due to its low concentrations and the spectral overlap, primarily with myo-inositol. By going to higher field strengths this situation can improve due to increased spectral resolution. We employed an optimized chemical shift imaging method for glycine imaging at 7T and present preliminary data from healthy volunteers and tumor patients.
