Frequency and phase drift correction of magnetic resonance spectroscopy data by spectral registration in the time domain
Near J., Edden R., Evans CJ., Paquin R., Harris A., Jezzard P.
Purpose: Frequency and phase drifts are a common problem in the acquisition of in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data. If not accounted for, frequency and phase drifts will result in artifactual broadening of spectral peaks, distortion of spectral lineshapes, and a reduction in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We present herein a new method for estimating and correcting frequency and phase drifts in in vivo MRS data.
