A retrospective motion compensation method for edited MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data of the human brain is presented. The algorithm identifies movement-affected data by comparing the residual water and lipid peaks at the same k-space point, and either phase corrects, replaces or removes motion-affected FIDs. The method was applied to in vivo GABA-edited MRSI data: relative to uncorrected spectra, the corrected spectra had significantly less subtraction artifacts. The method was also demonstrated for correction of glutathione-edited MRSI data.
