Abstract

An improved double quantum coherence (DQC) filter for the selective in vivo detection of glutathione (GSH) in the human brain at 1.5 Tesla is presented. The goal was to minimize contamination of the DQC‐filtered GSH signal at 2.9 ppm with contributions arising from GABA. The modification consists of tailoring the frequency response of the read pulse, which converts DQC into anti‐phase single quantum coherence in such a way that the GABA β and γ resonances at 3.0 and 1.9 ppm, respectively, remain unaffected. An implementation incorporating a Dante pulse train is used for in vitro tests as well as for in vivo applications. Magn Reson Med 45:708–710, 2001. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
