Abstract:
1. A method of quantifying a magnetic resonance spectrum, comprising the steps of: (1) observing and collecting n one-dimensional (1D) magnetic resonance spectra, each consisting of real and imaginary parts, by quadrature detection; (2) finding integrated values, x (3) fitting the integrated values x (4) projecting actually measured data points (x (5) taking reference data items as coordinate values (x (6) finding a value of sign (7) curve-fitting dependence of the strength of the spectral peak (magnetization) on the pulse width to a given model function based on the least squares fitting program for calculation of a pulse width and determining a pulse width optimal for observation of the spectrum from parameters of the model function to which the curve-fitting has been done.
