Flowchart of the decision tree for multi-channel spectroscopy combination.

Multi-channel spectroscopy combination method decision tree logic utilized within the McMRSGUI. The user has the option to specifically select a method or use the program as a guide for selecting an appropriate combination method. Utilization of supplemental ¹H unsuppressed water data for determining weighting factors improves the accuracy of the combination method(s) in scenarios of low SNR combination. The weighting methods are arranged from left to right in order of literature-recommended order for the scenario of correlation between channels.
