          A new algorithm to improve eddy current correction and 
						residual water removal was proposed and tested on in 
						vivo single-voxel MRS data acquired from 141 healthy 
						subjects. From the water reference scan the metabolite 
						signal was subtracted to reveal water sidebands. 
						Together with HSVD fit this method improves spectral 
						baseline and allows accurate quantification of single 
						voxel MRS.
