β¦ Synopsis
High resolution magic angle spinning (MAS) 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been employed to study intact human brain tumour tissue and comparison with the corresponding in vivo spectrum has been made. Two dimensional 1 H MAS-NMR measurements, including J-resolved and homonuclear shift correlation spectra, were obtained to aid metabolite signal assignment. MAS gave greatly improved line-shape and reduced line-width in comparison to conventional high resolution in vivo 1 H MRS of intact tissue, permitting the simultaneous detection of cellular lipids and metabolites. The technique provides the most direct method for comparison of in vivo spectra with high resolution spectra in vitro and hence allows more reliable peak assignment of in vivo 1 H MRS spectra.

Recent advances in the methodology of magnetic resonance spectroscopy now permit localized proton ('H) spectroscopy of the human brain in clinicd magnetic resonance systems. In this study, localized 'H spectroscopy was used to observe directly the stimulation of brain metabolic activity in patients
