The quantitation of absolute metabolite concentrations via Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy using water as an internal concentration standard, requires the accurate determination of the compartmentation within the localized region of interest. Previous work has shown that different segmentation approaches yield different estimates of metabolite levels in Grey matter [1]. In this study, we investigated the test-retest reliability of absolute metabolite quantitation using two commonly used segmentation algorithms.
