## Abstract ## Purpose To compare noninvasive MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) methods with liver biopsy to quantify liver fat content. ## Materials and Methods Quantification of liver fat was compared by liver biopsy, proton MRS, and MRI using inβphase/outβofβphase (IP/OP) and plus
We observe linewidths of 0.1-0.4 ppm in 31P spectra of human muscle, liver, and brain. T2 measurements of muscle phosphocreatine, together with previous brain studies, indicate that further improvements in linewidth to 0.02-0.05 ppm might often be achieved, but in some lesions magnetic susceptibilit
## The Clinical Use of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Ever since it first became apparent that NMR signals could be obtained from living tissues there has been great interest in the application of the method to medicine. A large number of 1.5 T MRI instruments has been installed in hospitals arou
