KBDM is a parametric non-linear method that allows fitting and spectral analysis of experimentally measured transient time signals. The method has already shown its potential in the MR field and its characteristics may prove valuable for clinical MRS data processing. However, the method accuracy appears to be correlated to the noise level, which may impose a limitation for this application due to typical noise present at in vivo data. Thus, the main goal of this work is to show a strategy to reduce noise impact in order to enable the method to be used on clinical MRS data processing.
