Absolute Metabolite Concentrations on Brain Tissue
by Gaussian and Lorentzian Functions
Amarjeet Bhullar
How to get absolute signal?
Absolute Signal = Raw data - Noise
Raw data = Real Spectrum without any manipulation
Noise = Draw a Baseline using few anchor points on Spectrum
Anchor Points Real Spectrum Baseline
Noise=Baseline is determined by interpolating anchor points on spectrums.
Absolute Metabolite Concentrations
• Create baseline using few anchor points on spectrum.
• Find metabolite peaks.
• Fit Mathematical function on metabolite peaks.
• Integrate peaks between the limits to calculate absolute metabolite concentrations.
