MEGA-semiLASER is compared to a previously proposed MRS sequence for 2HG detection, MEGA-PRESS. The sequences are assessed using simulations of SNR with TE and the chemical shift displacement error (CSDE). Both sequences are shown to maximise 2HG SNR at TE of approximately 100ms. MEGA-semiLASER displays marginally higher SNR whilst reducing the CSDE of MEGA-PRESS. MEGA-semiLASER should offer a comparable reduction in CSDE to another proposed sequence, MEGA-LASER, whilst requiring fewer refocusing pulses and thus a lower SAR.
