## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate T~2~βrelaxation changes in patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) using T~2~ relaxometry and to correlate T~2~ values with brain metabolites evaluated using 2D magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). ## Materials and Methods: Eight MHE patients and
Cerebral phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy was undertaken in 33 patients with biopsyproven cirrhosis: 6 had no evidence of neuropsychiatric impairment on standard clinical, psychometric and electrophysiological testing; 8 had evidence of subclinical hepatic encephalopathy; and 19 were cl
