## Abstract The combination of volumetric MRI and multivoxel localized MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data provides the potential for quantifying variations in tissue morphology and function. These techniques have numerous applications for the evaluation of neurological diseases. While stateβofβth

β¦ Synopsis
The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of neurological disorders, and the influence of tumor and perifocal edema location on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) quality. fMRI quality tended to be better the closer the tumor and the perifocal edema were located to the pmc. Hemipareses and seizures had no significant influence on fMRI quality. Therefore, hemiparetic patients do not have to be excluded beforehand. The evaluation of time courses is essential before using z-maps to localize eloquent brain regions preoperatively.

## Abstract In this study quantitation of the degree of deficiency of the bloodβbrain barrier (BBB) in patients with multiple sclerosis or brain tumors, by using MRI, is shown to be possible. As a measure of permeability of the BBB to GadoliniumβDTPA (GdβDTPA) the flux per unit of distribution volu
