Adaptively optimized combination (AOC) of magnetic resonance spectroscopy data from phased array coils

MR spectroscopy (MRS) can benefit from multi‐element coil arrays with enhanced signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR). However, how to combine the MRS data in an optimized way from a multi‐element coil array has been studied much less than MRI. A recently published method and routine combination methods have detrimental effects on SNR. We present herein a new method for optimal combination of multi‐coil MRS data.
