The purpose of the study is to compare short-TE and MEGA editing methods and verify reproducibility of GABA measurement in the motor cortex at 7T. The measured average GABA/Cr and GABA/NAA ratios were 0.121 ± 0.034 and 0.057 ± 0.019 respectively for short-TE sSPECIAL measurement and 0.083 ± 0.014 and 0.052 ± 0.008 respectively for MEGA-sSPECIAL sequence. 6 healthy volunteers were scanned two times and average coefficient of variances were 21.2 ± 11.8 % for short-TE measurement and 4.5 ± 3.9 for MEGA-sSPECIAL sequence.
