In this abstract, we investigate factors that influence the multiplet pattern observed in J-difference editing of GABA. Density matrix simulations were applied to investigate the shape of the 3 ppm multiplet as a function of the editing sequences slice-selective refocusing pulse properties, in particular bandwidth, transition width, and flip angle.
