  • Magnetic resonance spectral analysis of the brain for diagnosis of clinical conditions
    Patent number: 5617861
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the concentration of metabolites in the brain using magnetic resonance spectrum techniques. The method comprising defining a volume within the brain, obtaining a magnetic resonance spectrum of the defined volume, suppressing the signal from water to reveal the spectra from metabolites, correcting the baseline, obtaining the magnetic resonance spectrum of an external standard, comparing the signal from the metabolites to the signal from the external standard and calculating the in vivo concentration of the metabolites.
