Özet
The effects of J modulation on localized 1H NMR spectra were observed on metabolites with both a short T2 relaxation time like glutamate and a comparatively long T2 relaxation time like N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid (NAA). All examinations were performed by either the double spin-echo (PRESS) sequence or J-suppressed PRESS (JPRESS) sequence. Both of the sequences allow spectral editing and relaxation time studies of J coupled spins. Water-suppressed proton spectra were obtained at 1.5 T (GE Signa) from a 6-8 ml volume of interest. T1 and T2 relaxation times of some of the major brain metabolites were obtained by varying the repetition time and echo time of the JPRESS sequence.
