Synopsis

This study focuses on the comparison of different in vivo data-acquisitions for quantifying hepatic 31P metabolite concentrations using a phantom replacement method. We have compared a 1D-slab localized DRESS, a single-voxel-spectroscopy (SVS) ISIS as well as a 3D-CSI 31P MRS acquisition at 7T. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages and needs to be chosen according to the focus and design of the study.
