Introduction to clinical in vivo MR spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A short introduction to the description of in vivo (1)H MR spectra is given. The parameters important for successful measurement and interpretation of spectra are discussed. Basic metabolites visible in proton MR spectra are described and the attention is paid to N acetylaspartate, creatine and cholines.

Clinical 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 کاملProton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the brain: report of AAPM MR Task Group #9.
AAPM Magnetic Resonance Task Group #9 on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in the brain was formed to provide a reference document for acquiring and processing proton (1H) MRS acquired from brain tissue. MRS is becoming a common adjunct to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially for the differential diagnosis of tumors in the brain. Even though MR imaging is an offshoot of MR sp...
متن کاملChallenges of using MR spectroscopy to detect neural progenitor cells in vivo.
A recent report of detection of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in living human brain by using in vivo proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MR spectroscopy) has sparked great excitement in the field of biomedicine because of its potential influence and utility in clinical neuroscience research. On the other hand, the method used and the findings described in the report also caused heated debate and cont...
متن کاملHigh-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 کاملDifferentiation of tuberculous from pyogenic brain abscesses with in vivo proton MR spectroscopy and magnetization transfer MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging features are nonspecific with respect to the causative organism for patients with brain abscesses. On the basis of the hypothesis that the biochemical environment depends on the infecting organism and might be different in tuberculous compared with pyogenic brain abscesses, this study attempted to determine whether pyogenic brain abscesses can be differentiated...
