Multi‐center reproducibility of neurochemical profiles in the human brain at 7 T

The purpose of this work was to harmonize data acquisition and post‐processing of single voxel proton MRS (1H‐MRS) at 7 T, and to determine metabolite concentrations and the accuracy and reproducibility of metabolite levels in the adult human brain.
