Equally as important as the pulse sequence used to record the data is the software used for data analysis. Ideally, fully automated spectral curve-fitting algorithms should be used to provide a quantitative estimate of each metabolite concentration. However, although such software exists and is often used in clinical research studies, it is little utilized in routine clinical practice, where visual interpretation (as in most radiological readings) is most common. Other commonly used metrics include ratios of metabolites such as NAA/Cho,
