euglycemia and hypoglycemia in healthy humans.

Figure 2.
Spectral quality obtained at 7T from the occipital cortex (a) and hypothalamus (b) and B1+ shimming results in the hypothalamus of a healthy volunteer. 1H MR spectra (right in a and b) were obtained with STEAM (TR=5 s, TE=8 ms, TM=32 ms, 128 transients) from the volumes-of-interest shown on T1-weighted mid-sagittal and coronal images (left in a and b). The hypothalamus spectrum was acquired with a 16-channel transceive array coil, while the occipital cortex spectrum was acquired with a quadrature half-volume transceiver. The FIDs were multiplied with a gaussian function (σ=0.08 s) before Fourier transformation. The marked resonances are: NAA, creatine, choline, myo-inositol, and GABA. (c) The region-of-interest (red circle) used for B1+ shimming for the hypothalamus VOI (white square) is shown on a transverse T1-weighted image together with maps of the fraction of available B1+ before and after B1+ shimming. |
