Reliable localization of ¹H MRS in gray and white matter of the human brain was achieved using the BASE-SLIM technique. Distinctive spectral patterns of gray and white matter were measured from all subjects using BASE-SLIM, which were consistent with those measured in both tissue types using single-voxel ¹H MRS. BASE-SLIM spectroscopy promises 1) accurate and robust acquisition of MR spectra from gray and white matter with minimum cross contamination from other compartments, 2) shorter scan time and 3) flexibility in compartmental shapes that match anatomical structures.
