Abstract
Disclosed is improved quantitative in vivo spectroscopy by means of F1-oversampled J-Resolved 2D spectroscopy. Reconstruction makes full use of internal signals for 2D water lineshape, T.sub.2 and partial volume correction, and analysis uses 2D complex model spectra fitting. The preferred embodiment of the new method integrates these features into PRESS localized brain spectroscopy and is carried out without the need for water suppression.
