Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a technique that combines the ability of nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) to differentiate molecules with the imaging features of …

The clinical use of in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been limited for a
long time, mainly due to its low sensitivity. However, with the advent of clinical MR systems …

Research studies aimed at defining the value of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)
for the evaluation of cancer have been undertaken since the early 1980s (1). Readers can …

Magnetic resonance imaging provides insights into the physiology of human tumours in a
way that is both noninvasive and radiation free. We may expect from these new imaging …

Methods An OVID search of the MEDLINE® database was conducted on November 6, 2002.
Filters and limitations were used to eliminate inappropriate publications, with inclusion and …

In vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was first demonstrated to be
feasible in vivo in the human brain in the mid-1980s [1], and the first example of it being …

Magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful, noninvasive imaging technique with exquisite
sensitivity to soft tissue composition. Magnetic resonance imaging is primary tool for brain …

MR spectroscopy creates a noninvasive window into the metabolism of normal and
diseased tissue in vivo. The physics and the measurement techniques being described in …

In vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a rapidly developing,
noninvasive analytical technique that allows sequential studies of brain tumor metabolism. It …
