APPS Overview

Overview

APPS is a program used to perform a variety of signal processing steps before you fit MR spectra collected in-vivo. Some things that can be done include:

• Converting spectroscopy files generated from Bruker scanners into a FITMAN compatible *.dat format
• Removal of residual water signal from the in-vivo spectrum
• Subtraction of a macromolecule spectrum from the full (metabolite + macromolecule) spectrum acquired during an interleaved acquisition.

Layout

APPS is organized in a tabbed format.

Instructions for each tab are given below:

• Bruker File Conversion
• Water Removal
• Macromolecule Removal
