We are collecting info on the needs, wishes, and opinions of the #functionalMRS community to inform a submission for a member-initiated symposium @ISMRM 2022. If you currently do fMRS (or want to), please consider taking this survey: https://t.co/pIWeeAecNV

Thanks in advance!

@MMikkelsenPhD Thanks Mark! Apparently I've had a twitter account since 2013 so this first tweet is long overdue...

[Adam Berrington @adamberrington]

'Ghosting' 👻 or spurious echo artifacts are common in MR spectroscopy.

Our paper, published this week in MRM, proposes a new method (ERASE) to remove these artifacts using sensitivity encoding:

Check it out!

(P.S. This is my first tweet!)

[Adam Berrington @adamberrington]

Of course, nothing beats acquiring high quality data 😅, but we are often constrained by hardware.

ERASE is a reconstruction tool which may be applied post-hoc or added as a pre-scan in MRS.

Future work could explore adding prior knowledge into region estimation.

[Adam Berrington @adamberrington]

When applied in volunteer data sets containing spurious echo artifacts, we saw visible improvements in spectral quality (in particular 3-4 ppm) and lower CRLBs of major metabolites after fitting with ERASE.

This was despite the g-factor noise penalty of sensitivity encoding.
