Problems with Philips Intera 3T 3D-MRSI

1

Dear Community,

I am seeking some guidance for analyzing 3D MRSI spectra acquired on a 3T Philips scanner.

My goal is to analyze the spectra and obtain metabolite concentration maps. I have been searching for the best software for this pipeline; however, LCModel does not natively support multislice MRSI, and I have been encountering numerous bugs and stability issues while using Oryx.

At the moment, I am completely stuck. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could recommend alternative software tools, as there seem to be very few out-of-the-box options for multislice/multivoxel MRS.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Angela

Dear Angela,

Receintly we published this tool for 2D MRSI analysis at Philips:

And I intensionally did not include 3D functionality there because after years of working I am still curious how is it possible to get a good 3D MRSI dataset at Philips.
However, from the technical side it is definitely possible to extend the tool to 3D. We can consider this in the near future and I will post an update here.

Best regards,
Andrei
