The presence of a doublet at 1.1 ppm in MRS is often
attributed to the presence of propylene glycol, a widely
used excipient. This work investigates the assumed
direct relationship between administered PG and observed
PG levels in MRS and finds a poor correlation between
the two measurements. This suggests further work is
required to elucidate the relevant of PG levels in MRS
and their any clinical relevance.
