Spectral editing using gradient-selected double-quantum filtering (DQF) with PRESS localization has been used for selective observation of metabolites in vivo. In previous studies using localized DQF sequences, it is generally assumed that the slice-selective pulses used in the sequence have no roles in coherence transfer, and do not interfere with DQE. To validate this assumption, the effects of slice-selective excitation/refocusing on DQF were investigated in DQF lactate editing sequences combined with PRESS localization. Contrary to the previous assumption, the results show that, due to chemical shift displacement artifact and J coupling, slice selection in DQF does interfere with coherence transfer, affecting both the accuracy of spatial localization and the detection sensitivity adversely. In the case of lactate editing, the effects of this interference can be accounted for simply by adjusting the strength of the slice-selection gradients and by using narrowband slice-selective refocusing pulses.
