Mesial prefrontal cortex degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a high-field proton MR spectroscopy study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Frontotemporal lobar degeneration is responsible for the cognitive abnormalities seen in patients with ALS. We sought to evaluate the in vivo neurochemical changes associated with this pathology indicative of neuronal loss and gliosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients with ALS (2 with ALS-FTD) and 15 healthy controls were studied. High-field proton MR spectros...
متن کاملUltra high-field (7tesla) magnetic resonance spectroscopy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The main objective of this study was to utilize high field (7T) in vivo proton magnetic resonance imaging to increase the ability to detect metabolite changes in people with ALS, specifically, to quantify levels of glutamine and glutamine separately. The second objective of this study was to correlate metabolic markers with clinical outcomes of disease progression. 13 ALS participants and 12 ag...
متن کاملMR imaging and localized proton spectroscopy of the precentral gyrus in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In the search for a diagnostic test for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), especially upper motor neuron (UMN) involvement, MR imaging and proton spectroscopy techniques have each received attention, but their findings have not been correlated. The purpose of this study was to identify relationships among the results of current techniques, taking into account the severi...
متن کاملDetection of cerebral degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using high-field magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
BACKGROUND Clinical assessment is insensitive to the degree of cerebral involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Regional brain concentrations N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAA) plus myo-inositol (Ins), as measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy, are respectively decreased and increased, suggesting that these compounds may provide a biomarker of the degree of cerebral involvement in...
متن کاملMR proton spectroscopy in multiple sclerosis.
PURPOSE To elucidate the natural history of visualized MR abnormalities in patients with multiple sclerosis using proton spectroscopy. METHODS MR imaging and proton spectroscopy (1H spectroscopy) were performed on 16 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis. All patients received gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA). RESULTS Decreased levels of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) were demons...
