Abstract

By providing unique information on chemical composition of the brain tissue, magnetic resonance spectroscopy of hydrogen nuclei (1H MRS) may help to improve our understanding of the mechanism of the diseases of the nervous system. 1H MRS can assist with the diagnosis of a variety of disorders, help to monitor the effects of therapy and evaluate disease progression, and assess prognosis. Standardization of in-vivo MRS techniques, development of automated methods for data analysis, and availability of databases (including data on healthy brain and different pathologies) may help to advance the integration of MRS in routine clinical diagnostic practice in the future.
