Keywords: Signal Modeling, Spectroscopy, MRS; Frequency-and-phase correction; linear-combination modeling; 2D-modeling
Motivation: Retrospective frequency-and-phase correction (FPC) methods like spectral registration struggle at low SNR.
Goal(s): To develop model-based correction FPC with simultaneous 2D fitting of all transients. To compare its performance to conventional FPC.
Approach: Inclusion of all transients (without prior FPC) into a 2D linear-combination model with frequency and phase parameters for each transient. Comparison with conventional approach (spectral registration, averaging and 1D modeling). Outcome measures: frequency/phase/amplitude ground truth error & standard deviation, amplitude CRLB.
Results: Model-based FPC is feasible and retrieves frequency/phase variations with high fidelity. At low SNR, frequency and metabolite amplitude estimation is more accurate and precise.
Impact: Direct integration of frequency-and-phase correction into 2D linear-combination modeling is feasible and has great potential to improve metabolite level estimation for conventional and dynamic MRS data, especially for low-SNR conditions, e.g., long TEs, strong diffusion weighting, etc.
