HERMES of GABA and GSH at 7T

Extending the multi-metabolite editing technique at high field scanner, we have developed HERMES of GABA and GSH at ultra-high field scanner. For this, M.G. Saleh and colleagues implemented semi-LASER (sLASER) voxel localizer and Hadamard encoding scheme (Figure a) at 7T to simultaneously edit GABA (at 3 ppm) and GSH (at 2.95 ppm) in half the scan time MEGA-sLASER takes to edit these metabolites sequentially (Figure b). HERMES of GABA and GSH will be presented at 27th Joint Annual Meeting of the ESMRMB-ISMRM, Paris, France, 2018.
