To develop and optimize a 1H MRS method for measuring brain glutathione (GSH) levels. Phantom experiments and density operator simulations were performed to determine the optimal TE for measuring GSH at 3 T using J-difference spectral editing. In vivo data collected from eleven normal volunteers (forty-three measurements) and five stroke patients (ten measurements) were processed using a new spectral alignment method (adaptive spectral registration). In phantom experiments and density operator simulations where relaxation effects were ignored, close to maximum GSH signal (2.95 ppm) was obtained at TE ≈ 131 ms with minimum N-acetyle-aspartate (NAA) signal interference. Using adaptive spectral registration, GSH levels in healthy volunteers were found to be 1.20 ± 0.14 mM (mean ± SD). GSH levels in stroke patients were found to be 1.19 ± 0.24 mM in lesion and 1.25 ± 0.19 mM in contralateral normal tissue. In comparison, the standard deviations were significantly larger when only the NAA singlet (2.01 ppm) was used as a navigator for spectral alignment. Spectral editing using J-differences is a reliable method for measuring GSH levels in volunteers and stroke patients.
