Abstract
An automatic data processing and display protocol for proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging is described. The spectroscopic images are generated using the fitted peak areas of phased metabolite resona nces using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. This automated spectrosc opic image processing is tested and evaluated using phantom and human brain data. This algorithm is robust, simple to use, and minimizes use r bias in processing and quantifying serial changes of metabolite leve ls in brain tissue. (C) 1995 Academic Press,Inc.
