We determined the accuracy and precision to measure GSH
and Asc concentrations in ultra-short echo time spectra
when injecting phantom measured GSH and Asc spectra into
5 in vivo human brain spectra acquired at 3 T and 7 T.
We found that a change in GSH ≥ 40% is detectable at
both fields while a change in Asc can only be quantified
at 7 T.
