The H-1-MRS acquisition was performed with a common protocol using the whole-body coil and no respiratory triggering," researchers in Uppsala, Sweden report.

"An upper limit of normal HTGC of 5.56% was used. Duplicate measurements, including subject repositioning, were acquired from 23 subjects, 19 of whom had a normal HTGC. The mean coefficient of variation (CV) from the duplicate measurements was 14.8% (20.5% before exclusion of a subject who was considered to...
