This introductory article addresses approaches currently in use to process in vivo spectra. First, a brief overview is given of the information content represented by the parameters of MR signals. Subsequently, common steps in the processing of MR spectra such as pre‐processing, normalisation and quantification and the use of prior knowledge are described. Finally, some prospects for more advanced processing are given. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
