Biography
Methods allowing quantification of cancer metabolites in vivo based on Magnetic Resonance (MR) spectral profiles have been developed and are currently being considered for clinical routines. MR Spectroscopy (MRS) is noninvasive, nondestructive and enables serial measurements of tissue. MRS spectra can be obtained from the entire sample or from specific regions of interest (localized MRS). MRS is the in vivo application of (NMR) spectroscopy, and is implemented on (MRI) clinical or experimental scanners
