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

## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate a localized twoβdimensional correlated magnetic resonance spectroscopic (LβCOSY) technique in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and healthy subjects, and to correlate the cerebral metabolite changes with neuropsychological (NP) test scores. ## Materials
## Abstract ## Purpose To quantify the changes in brain water diffusivity in hepatic encephalopathy (HE) associated with cirrhosis using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and to correlate with neuropsychological (NP) scores. ## Materials and Methods DTI was performed in 14 patients with lowβgrade H
## 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
