Congratulations to postdoctoral fellow Karl Landheer and graduate student Kelley Swanberg on their recent figure being selected as a cover image for the May 2021 special issue of NMR in Biomedicine "Advanced methodology for in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy."
The figure contains in vivo proton spectra from glutathione (GSH), a molecule that exhibits both weak and strong J-coupling at high field strengths, and co-edited molecule N-acetyl aspartate that were used to validate the MARSS software, a freeware toolkit that we offer to enable fast and accurate density-matrix spectral simulation of spin systems for MR spectroscopy experimental planning and basis set development [1]. These data represent J-difference-edited sLASER GSH difference spectra acquired from the occipital cortex of ten participants and previously employed in the first measurement of in vivo GSH T2 at 7 T [2].
