Metabolite concentrations with and without cardiac gating
| Metabolite | Concentration (mmol/L) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Subjects, Gated Method* | Individual SDs, Gated Method† | All Subjects, Nongated Method* | Individual SDs, Nongated Method† | |
| NA | 6.842 ± 0.926 | 0.674 | 6.178 ± 0.985 | 0.768 |
| Cr | 6.589 ± 1.195 | 0.931 | 6.167 ± 1.223 | 1.040 |
| Cho | 1.849 ± 0.509 | 0.296 | 1.701 ± 0.531 | 0.383 |
| Ins | 2.665 ± 0.494 | 0.497 | 2.185 ± 0.858 | 0.766 |
| Glx | 12.205 ± 2.599 | 2.299 | 11.524 ± 3.580 | 2.768 |
Note—The mean metabolite concentrations are higher with gated method than with the nongated method and the SDs for each metabolite are lower with gated than with the nongated method
