## Abstract Head motion during ^1^H MR spectroscopy acquisitions may compromise the quality and reliability of in vivo metabolite measurements. Therefore, a three‐plane image‐based motion‐tracking module was integrated into a single‐voxel ^1^H MR spectroscopy (point‐resolved spectroscopy) sequence.

Abstract
Subject motion during MRS investigations is a factor limiting the quality and the diagnostic value of the spectra. The possibility of using external motion tracking data to correct for artefacts in MR imaging has been demonstrated previously. In this paper the utility of prospective motion correction for single‐voxel proton MRS is investigated. The object motion data are used in real time to update the position of the spectroscopy voxel during the acquisition prior to every sequence repetition cycle. It is not, however, sufficient to update the voxel position alone due to shim changes accompanying subject motion. Adverse effects of frequency shifts induced by subject motion are effectively suppressed by the interleaved reference scan method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
