abstract = {The aim of this work is to quantify the metabolic profile
of the human putamen in vivo in a cohort of elderly subjects
using single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
To obtain metabolite concentrations specific to the putamen,
we investigated a correction method previously proposed to
account for the tissue composition of the volume of
interest. We compared the method with the conventional
approach, which a priori assumes equal metabolite
concentrations in GM and WM. Finally, we compared the
concentrations acquired at 3 Tesla (T) and 7 T MRI scanners.
Spectra were acquired from 15 subjects (age: 67.7 ± 8.3
years) at 3 T and 7 T, using an ultra-short echo time,
stimulated echo acquisition mode sequence. To robustly
estimate the WM-to-GM metabolite concentration ratio, five
additional subjects were measured for whom the MRS voxel was
deliberately shifted from the putamen in order to increase
the covered amount of surrounding WM. The concentration and
WM-to-GM concentration ratio for 16 metabolites were
reliably estimated. These ratios ranged from ~0.3 for
γ-aminobutyric acid to ~4 for N-acetylaspartylglutamate.
The investigated correction method led to significant
changes in concentrations compared to the conventional
method, provided that the ratio significantly differed from
unity. Finally, we demonstrated that differences in tissue
voxel composition cannot fully account for the observed
concentration difference between field strengths. We provide
not only a fully comprehensive quantification of the
neurochemical profile of the putamen in elderly subjects,
but also a quantification of the WM-to-GM concentration
ratio. This knowledge may serve as a basis for future
studies with varying tissue voxel composition, either due to
tissue atrophy, inconsistent voxel positioning or simply
when pooling data from different voxel locations.},
