Abstract

Brain glutamate and glutamine were detected in healthy human volunteers in spectroscopic images with a nominal voxel size of 2.25 cm3 at an echo time of 15 ms. Due to the increased frequency separation and simplification of J-coupling patterns, the separate detection of brain glutamate and glutamine at short echo times was possible. Creatine, choline, and N-acetylaspartate with other N-acetylated compounds were also detected. The ratios of the metabolite resonance intensities were in agreement with previously published values.
