Accelerated water residual removal in <scp>MRS</scp> : Exploring deep learning versus fitting‐based approaches

WaterFit showed a superior balance of accuracy and processing speed in removing water residual from MRS data compared to DeepWatR. The proposed WaterFit implementation significantly reduces preprocessing time while maintaining metabolite fitting accuracy comparable to gold standard methods. This advancement addresses the need for efficient processing methods that can facilitate analysis and enhance the clinical utility of MRS.
