+## MRS-MRI correspondence
+
+It is typical to acquire high-resolution 3D anatomical MR images alongside MRS data for
+voxel/slab placement, co-registration, and partial-volume tissue correction of metabolite concentrations.
+To avoid incorrectly matching an MRS dataset with a corresponding anatomical MR image,
+it is RECOMMENDED that the field `AnatomicalImage` be included in the MRS sidecar JSON files.
