Fig 1. Whole-head WET (followed by a 1Formula 13Formula 1 [100-µs rectangular pulses with 2-ms interpulse delays at 3T] for a 90° readout) single-acquisition 1H proton spectrum. Note the extreme lipid contamination from the bone marrow and subcutaneous adipose tissue distorting and obscuring the NAA signal intensity and confounding its quantification. Cho indicates choline; Cr, creatine.
