Systems and methods for automated voxel positioning in magnetic resonance spectroscopy ('MRS') are provided. In some aspects, a method includes receiving magnetic resonance ('MR') imaging data acquired from a subject using an MR imaging system and registering the MR imaging data to an atlas having a pre-defined volume of interest (&#x201c;VOI&#x201d;), or segmenting a region of interest (&#x201c;ROI&#x201d;) directly from the MR data. The method also includes generating registration parameters based on the registration, and computing a transformed VOI using the pre-defined VOI in the atlas and the registration parameters. Alternatively, the VOI may be obtained by directly estimating it from the ROI.
