Synopsis

Keywords: Spectroscopy, Brain, MRSI

Motivation: To provide a metabolic reference atlas for brain metabolite concentrations.

Goal(s): Derive regional metabolite concentration estimates from the human brain.

Approach: Brain 1H MRSI data were acquired from 10 healthy controls and quantitative metabolite maps were combined via transformation into MNI space to derive median metabolite maps. Regional metabolite concentration estimates were derived.

Results: Brain metabolite maps and regional concentrations for 12 human brain metabolites have been derived.

Impact: A reference standard for metabolic brain MRI was established.
