Whilst many studies have detailed the impact of
partial volume effects on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy quantification,
there is a paucity of literature explaining how voxel segmentation can be
achieved using freely available neuroimaging packages. Here we aim to demonstrate
a practical guide to magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) voxel segmentation,
partial volume correction and detail how to extract other MR metrics (such as
DTI, fMRI) from a MRS voxel.
