Overlapping signal contributions originating from different metabolites with similar molecular structure is a common problem of in vivo ¹H-MR spectroscopy with magnetic field strengths of ≤ 3 T. One prominent example is the “contamination” of the resonances of lactate with fat signals in ¹H-MR muscle spectra. The goal of this work was to implement a MRS sequence with inversion recovery based adiabatic/ nonadiabatic lipid suppression and to test this approach in vivo in two different human calf muscles.
