Quantitative cervical spinal cord 3T proton MR spectroscopy in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MR spectroscopy) is a useful technique for evaluating neuronal/axonal damage and demyelization in multiple sclerosis (MS). Because MS disability is frequently related to spinal cord lesions, potential markers for MS stage differentiation and severity would require in vivo quantification of spinal integrity. However, few spectroscopy stud...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy of tumefactive demyelinating lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) can simulate intracranial neoplasms in clinical presentation and MR imaging appearance, and surgical biopsy is often performed in suspected tumors. Proton MR spectroscopy has been applied in assessing various intracranial diseases and is increasingly used in diagnosis and clinical management. Our purpose was to determine if multivo...
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 کاملThe early evolution of spinal cord lesions on MR imaging following traumatic spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE How early spinal cord injury (SCI) lesions evolve in patients after injury is unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize the early evolution of spinal cord edema and hemorrhage on MR imaging after acute traumatic SCI. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 48 patients with clinically complete cervical spine injury. Inclusion criteria ...
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...
