Improved spatial coverage for brain 3D PRESS MRSI by automatic placement of outer‐volume suppression saturation bands

To develop a technique for optimizing coverage of brain 3D 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) by automatic placement of outer‐volume suppression (OVS) saturation bands (sat bands) and to compare the performance for point‐resolved spectroscopic sequence (PRESS) MRSI protocols with manual and automatic placement of sat bands.
