Spectral editing

Spectral editing is a technique used in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to selectively analyze specific chemical compounds within a complex mixture, like brain tissue. It works by manipulating the magnetic signals from different molecules based on their unique magnetic properties. This allows scientists to isolate and study particular metabolites, such as neurotransmitters or energy molecules, by filtering out other signals. Spectral editing enhances the clarity and accuracy of the analysis, helping researchers better understand biochemical processes in living organisms, especially in medical or neuroscience research.
