Model-based fitting of prostate spectra can produce more
selective metabolite ratios than conventional peak
integration. The model-based ratio tCho/Cit was found to
have a strong correlation with cancer aggressiveness
(grade), comparable with the standard approach of
CSC/Cit ratio, but with the advantage of greater
potential selectivity at higher fields.
