Postprocessing of the spectrum to suppress baseline deviations from zero that may be superimposed on desired spectral lines. These deviations may be due either to various instrumental effects or to very broad spectral lines.

Quick Overview
Please note that there are different common names for this artifact.

This artifact appears as a bright spot (or zipper line) in the image center. Central point artifacts are caused by a DC offset in the hardware. MRI scanners normally offer a software compensation (DC correction, baseline correction) for prevention.

Take care for a constant temperature. If the problem increases or keeps on existing, it should be addressed to the service.

Convolution differentiation is a method of suppressing broad underlying spectral lines in order to emphasize narrower spectral lines. Strong smoothing of the spectrum (e.g., by severe negative exponential weighting of the time data) will suppress the narrow lines but minimally affect very broad ones; subtracting such a smoothed spectrum from the original will largely remove the contributions from the broad lines. This provides a means of baseline correction.
