The volume selection technique SPACE has been combined with a two‐dimensional multiple‐quantum editing sequence to uniquely detect certain J‐coupled cerebral metabolites. In vivo results demonstrating edited glutamate/glutamine and lactate from 0.4 ml of a rat's brain at 4.7 T are presented. The sequence was optimized to balance multiple‐quantum generation and signal loss due to T 2 relaxation. Without due regard to T 2 relaxation little signal is observed. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
