This study amalgamated current state-of-the-art MRSI developments to create a detailed and reliable in vivo metabolic atlas of the healthy human brain. We used an ultra-high field 7T MR scanner to acquire high resolution, short echo-time (TE) MRSI data along with an external crusher coil for hardware based extra-cranial lipid signal suppression. Advanced post-processing and data reconstruction techniques were used in conjunction with stringent data filtering based on several quality assurance metrics, while registration to the MNI152 standard atlas allowed us to generate high-resolution metabolite/macromolecule ratio maps.
