From: Repeatability of deuterium metabolic imaging of healthy volunteers at 3 T
In deuterium metabolic imaging, the water signal is evenly distributed, while metabolite signals display some variation across the brain. The signal outside the brain is from the external phantoms (a, a single individual at 120 min is shown, see supplement for grayscale images). Quantification revealed significant differences between regions of the brain that were different between metabolites (b). The p-values represent a linear-mixed effects model for the effect of region
