## Abstract Localized __in vivo__ proton NMR spectra of volume elements of minimal size (13 × 13 × 13 mm^3^) were obtained in human brain with a whole‐body imager working at 1.5‐T field strength. By use of an optimized version of the 90°‐180°‐180° volume selection method, well‐resolved proton spect
## Abstract Natural abundance ^13^C NMR spectra obtained from 144‐cm^3^volumes in the human brain contained well‐resolved resonances of myo‐inositol after 60 min of data accumulation. A mean concentration of 7.2 ± 0.5 pmol/g (±SE, n = 7) was calculated from the comparison with phantoms. ^13^C NMR s
## Abstract Short‐echo‐time magnetic resonance spectra of human brain contain broad contributions from macromolecules. As they are a priori of unknown shape and intensity, they pose a problem if one wants to quantitate the overlying spectral features from low‐molecular‐weight metabolites. On the ot
The 1H lactate/n-acetyl aspartate ratio is commonly used for the quantitation of brain lactate under pathological conditions. We demonstrate that the intensity of the lactate methyl region in water-suppressed, nonedited 1H spectra increases following mild brain trauma as a result of factors other th
## Abstract In vivo ^1^H NMR spectra from the human brain were measured at 7 T. Ultrashort echo‐time STEAM was used to minimize J‐modulation and signal attenuation caused by the shorter __T__~2~ of metabolites. Precise adjustment of higher‐order shims, which was achieved with FASTMAP, was crucial t
