Abstract
A magnetic resonance pulse sequence technique may acquire a water reference spectrum and two water suppressed metabolite spectra and with frequency selective inversion pulse centered at either single frequency, at multiple frequencies, or in a single acquisition. Subtraction of the inverted from non-inverted water suppressed metabolite spectrum results in single or a combination of specific metabolite peak/peaks alone with a flat baseline for easier quantification.
