Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of the Brain

This book contains a number of practical procedures in absolute quantification of brain metabolites, including water. Complex concepts are presented in clear, concise and comprehensive language for both researchers and clinicians. There is also a presentation of the theory of MRS for beginners, and could serve as a guide for the optimization of spectral acquisition and implementation of quantitative schemes. The focus is to enhance the clinical utility of MR Spectroscopy and to provide the basis for further research.
