Synopsis
A processing and fitting challenge was initiated for the “Best practices & Tools for Diffusion MR Spectroscopy” workshop held at the Lorentz Center (Leiden, NL) in September 2021. Our goal was to assess variabilities in processing and fitting pipelines and possibly identify the most robust steps to analyze diffusion-weighted MRS data. A “brain-like” dataset of diffusion-weighted spectra was simulated and participants were asked to analyze the data with their routinely used pipelines. Results showed that variabilities between participants (n=8) particularly increased at higher b-values and for J-coupled metabolites (Ins, Glu) as a result of lower SNR and higher CRLB values.
