Overview of automatic VOI prescription for single-voxel spectroscopy. (a) DICOM images of the subject’s head are used to create a NIFTI file of the skull-stripped brain data. (b) Running the registration of the atlas to the skull-stripped subject’s brain yields transformation parameters from atlas space to subject space. (c) Transformation of VOI masks from atlas space to subject space using the transformation obtained from the registration. (d) Computation of VOI coordinates, angulation and size and writing of this information to the file that enables MRI scanners to retrieve and use any of the computed VOI in the pulse sequence.
