MRI-scanners enable non-invasive, in vivo quantitation of metabolites in, e.g., the brain of a patient. Among other things, this requires adequate estimation of the unknown temporal decay function of the complex-valued signal emanating from the metabolites. We propose a method to render a current decay estimator more simple, accurate, and robust...

In in vivo metabolite-quantitation with a magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) scanner, the model function of the attendant MRS signal is often only partly known. This unfavourable condition requires semi-parametric estimation. In the present study the unknown part is the form of the decay function of the MRS signal. The lack of knowledge is...

In this work we report on generating/using simulated metabolite basis sets for the quantification of in vivo MRS signals, assuming that they have been acquired by using the PRESS pulse sequence. To that end we have employed the classes and functions of the GAMMA C++ library. By using several versions of our PRESS-simulation program, we were able...
