Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H MRS) has the potential to provide a noninvasive assessment of hepatic lipid composition. The spectral resolution of in vivo clinical MR data is currently limited by the magnetic field strengths available and by motion artifact. Therefore, interpretation o

โฆ Synopsis
In vivo localized proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) studies of brain were performed on eighteen normal subjects using the stimulated echo (STE) sequence. The absolute concentrations and proton relaxation times of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), total creatine (Cr) and choline (Cho) were estimated. The MRS data was quantitatively analyzed for repeatability and intersubject variability. Quantitative analysis indicates excellent spectral repeatability. Significant intersubject variations in [NAA] and [Cr] have been observed while the intersubject variability in [Cho] has been found to be fairly small. Significant intensity distortions have been observed for mixing times longer than 50 msec.
