Synopsis
Reproducibility of multi-slice GABA-edited MRSI of the human brain recorded at 3T was investigated in 6 healthy adult volunteers, with and without a retrospective motion compensation scheme applied (MoCo). Overall reproducibility was good with improved performance when MoCo was applied (relative GABA+/tCr difference between visits: 20.8% no Moco, 10.0% with MoCo). Retrospective MoCo is a viable alternative for edited-MRSI when prospective motion correction is unavailable, at least in relatively compliant subject groups.
