: Different types of COSY spectroscopy (adiabatic COSY, constant-time COSY, and localized COSY) are evaluated with a series of phantoms with variable concentrations of glutamate (Glu)/glutamine (Gln), to find out which sequence is the most optimal in determining relative amounts of Glu and Gln. While cross peaks obtained in the three types of COSY correlated well with total pool of Glu/Gln, they did not correlate with ratio of Glu to Gln.
