Abstract

Systems and methods for determining proton spectral characteristics associated with a pair of targets from an MRI data volume are provided. The methods can include identifying spectral widths and peak-to-peak distance associated with the targets from the MRI data volume. The targets could include water and fat. The identified proton spectral characteristics can be useful for accurate spectral fat saturation, improving dynamic shim routines, and optimizing bandwidth of radiofrequency pulses used in multi-slice or multi-band excitation.
