Abstract
Localised two‐dimensional J‐resolved spectroscopy (JPRESS) is optimised for the in vivo detection of J‐coupled metabolites using magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3 T. The acquisition of echo signals starts as early as possible (i.e. maximum‐echo sampling). This sampling scheme increases sensitivity and decreases overlap of peak tails, hence alleviating baseline problems. Reconstruction issues are discussed and the sensitivity is compared analytically with that of 1D PRESS. The qualitative behaviour of eddy currents in JPRESS is outlined and a 2D eddy current correction procedure based on the 1D phase deconvolution method is proposed.
