Graphs of mean Cr (blue) and FA (orange) SNR for PRESS, sLASER and STEAM. Data expressed as mean ± SD. PRESS: BH, n = 20 & FB n = 10; sLASER: BH, n = 20 & FB n = 10; STEAM: BH, n = 9 for Cr, n = 14 for FA & FB n = 8 for both Cr and FA. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01 and ***: p < 0.001 compared with the same metabolite (Cr or FA) measured in BH with PRESS. #: p < 0.05 and ##: p < 0.01 compared with the same SNR metabolite (Cr or FA) measured during FB with PRESS. No difference was found between sLASER and STEAM
