Reliability of neurometabolite detection with two-dimensional localized correlation spectroscopy at 3T.
Two-dimensional localized correlational spectroscopy (2D L-COSY) has been applied in vivo to investigate metabolic profiles in many disorders due to its ability to detect several metabolites simultaneously. Successful application of this technique depends on the reliability of the detection and understanding of the variability result from test-retest measurements. ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018;48:1559-1569.
