It is highly desirable to combine ERETIC with the Klose correction, which frees spectra from disturbing eddy current effects. So far this was only possible when drawbacks in the fitting procedure where accepted. In our work we increased the usability of ERETIC by implementing an automatic phase correction and eddy current correction compensation. Therefore for the first time the ERETIC peak and the metabolites peaks are simultaneously quantifiable using standardized freely or commercially available algorithms as LCModel.
