Table 1.

Simulated metabolite peak area ratios and SNR for the simulated MRS data. (The p-value threshold of the SSPC denoising was 0.01).

	Voxel 1			Voxel 2

	NAA_sim/Cr_sim	NAA_sim/Cho_sim	SNR	Lac_sim/Cr_sim	Lac_sim/Cho_sim	SNR^*

Simulated Data	1.228	4.147	-	0.362	0.951	-
Simulated Data Plus Gaussian Noise	1.369	5.337	109.513	0.602	1.404	78.431
SSPC (0.01)	1.185	4.214	584.117	0.425	1.351	181.534

For Voxel 2 SNR was calculated using Cho peak area instead of NAA.
