Development of integrated graphic user interface for 2D/3D MR spectroscopic imaging with LCModel

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) can be applied to probe noninvasively the concentrations and distribution of metabolites of human tissue in vivo. As the improving of hardware and localization techniques, MRS becomes more and more important in clinical applications. Furthermore, some post-processing software, like LCModel, provide a graphical user interface for efficient and convenient analysis of MR spectroscopic imaging and thus increase the value of MRS applications.
Although LCModel provides an efficient analysis and produces stable results, it can not provide metabolite map to observe the distribution of metabolite concentrations. For this reason our study processes the output data of LCModel and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format MR images for 2D/3D metabolite map displaying. Users can use this software to observe the metabolic distribution in AP, SI and RL slice of brain tissue. In the meanwhile, as the absolute quantification of MRS has played more and more important role in clinical applications, this study also provides the LCModel end users an easy way for interpretation.
