Measurement of Glutathione (GSH) Using A Standard STEAM Sequence with Optimized (TE, TM) Parameters: Spectral Simulation, Phantom, and Human Experiments at 3T
نویسنده
چکیده
Fig.2. STEAM spectra (around 2.54 ppm) of GSH from phantom (black) and simulation (red) at the optimized (TE, TM) = (72 ms,73 ms). The spectrum from phantom was smoothed with a 5-Hz line broadening and the simulated spectrum was also smoothed to match the line width of the phantom spectrum.

Detection of Resolved Glutamate and/or Glutamine Using Optimized STEAM at 3T – A Verification Study by Phantom Experiments
designed in [2] for unobstructed Glu and Gln detection with chosen (TE, TM) regions in white boxes for phantom experiments. Fig. 2. In vitro STEAM spectra of Glu and Gln acquired at (72ms, 06 ms) and (84 ms, 58 ms) at 3T and multiplied with a filter to render them representative of typical in vivo line widths. Fig. 3. In vivo STEAM spectra acquired from a voxel including the ACC of a healthy vo...

متن کاملReproducibility of phase rotation STEAM at 3T: focus on glutathione.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the reproducibility of a very short echo time (TE) phase rotation stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequence at 3T with a focus on the detection of glutathione. METHODS Ten healthy subjects were scanned on two separate visits. Spectra were acquired from voxels placed in the anterior and posterior cingulates. Reproducibility was assesse...
متن کاملSimultaneous Quantification of γ-aminobutyric acid, Glutamate, and Glutamine at 3T
BACKGROUND: γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) are three important neurochemicals comprising a tightly coupled spin system. The coupling of this system and their low concentrations in brain typically render GABA MRS-invisible and Glu/Gln indistinguishable (and represented as the composite peak Glx) on standard clinical PRESS scans. Investigations by Hu et al. [1] ha...
متن کاملRelaxation Times of Human Skeletal Muscle Metabolites at 7T
Introduction: Single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy (SV-H-MRS) of human skeletal muscle at ultra high fields provides accurate quantitation of muscular metabolite concentration due to improved spectral resolution and high signal to noise ratio. Quantitative evaluation of relaxation times is extremely important for accurately quantifying metabolite concentration, optimizing measurement protocols i...
