High-field in vivo 1H-MR Spectroscopy of the injured mouse spinal cord. Feasibility and potentiality
Introduction H-MR Spectroscopy (MRS), which is extensively used to characterize neurological diseases, has not yet been applied to mouse spinal cord (SC) pathologies although it could be a valuable asset, in addition to the traditional anatomic and diffusion MR imaging, to better describe the pathological consequences and to evaluate possible regenerative strategies. In this study, we examined ...
متن کاملIn vivo 1H-MR Spectroscopy of the mouse cervical spinal cord
Introduction In vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a unique method for non invasive assessment of healthy and pathologic tissue metabolism. Spinal cord (SC) MRS has been reported in human studies [1-4], as well as in rats [5-6], however, no reports have been performed on mice although it should help, in addition to MRI, in the description of the numerous mouse models of SC dis...
متن کاملClinical Relevance of Mr Spectroscopy in the Spinal Cord
SUMMARY: MR spectroscopy allows insight into the chemical composition of human tissue noninvasively. Thereby it can help to better characterize pathologic processes affecting the spinal cord andmay provide important clinicalmarkers for differential diagnosis. However, due to technical challenges, it has been rarely applied to the spinal cord. The aim of this review was to summarize the technica...
متن کاملSpinal Cord Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and 1H-MR Spectroscopy (MRS) at 1.5T and 3T
Introduction MRI is an important modality in the assessment of spinal cord (SC) diseases. Conventional examinations are based on anatomic T1 and T2-weighted images but new techniques such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and single-voxel 1H-MR spectroscopy (SV-MRS) tend to be used in order to better described the pathology and understand the underlying mechanisms. Several difficulties, includi...
متن کاملEx vivo 1H MR spectroscopy and histology after experimental chronic spinal cord compression.
BACKGROUND Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRS) is used increasingly to image the spinal cord in compressive cervical myelopathy (CSM). However, detailed analyses of the underlying histomorphological changes leading to MRS alterations are still lacking. The aim of our study was to correlate neuroimaging and neuropathologic alterations in a rabbit myelopathy model. METHODS Chronic spinal co...
