Abstract
A protocol has been developed for quality assessment in in vivo NMR sp ectroscopy (MRS) on whole body and animal systems. The protocol, which has been evaluated in a series of international trials, defines proce dures, objects and substances to evaluate the localisation of common s lice and volume selection sequences, and to assess other relevant aspe cts of system performance, including: signal-to-noise; signal loss; re lation between signal strength, concentration and volume; selective su ppression of spectral lines; spectrometer stability.
