We report in vivo spectroscopic imaging of N-acetyl aspartyl glutamate (NAAG) at 3T using PRESS-based localization method. We present in vivo data from five healthy volunteers. Repeatability, reproducibility results and linear regression with white matter fraction are also reported. Metabolites concentration maps are presented to visualize the regional distribution.
