Measuring T2 in vivo with J‐difference editing: Application to GABA at 3 tesla

To develop an experimental approach for determining in vivo transverse relaxation rates (T2) of metabolites that are detected by spectral editing without using simulations, and to demonstrate this approach to measure the T2 of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA).
