Two‐site reproducibility of cerebellar and brainstem neurochemical profiles with short‐echo, single‐voxel MRS at 3T

To determine whether neurochemical concentrations obtained at two MRI sites using clinical 3T scanners can be pooled when a highly optimized, nonvendor short‐echo, single‐voxel proton MRS pulse sequence is used in conjunction with identical calibration and quantification procedures.
