Detection of Lactate in the Human Vitreous Body Using Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Examining lactate in severe TBI using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE Clinical management of acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) has emphasized identification of secondary mechanisms of pathophysiology. An important objective in this study is to use proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (pMRS) to examine early metabolic disturbance due to TBI. RESEARCH DESIGN The current design is a case study with repeated measures. METHOD AND PROCEDURE Pro...

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy for assessment of human body composition.

BACKGROUND The usefulness of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)-based techniques for assessment of human body composition has not been established. OBJECTIVE We compared a proton MRS-based technique with the total body water (TBW) method to determine the usefulness of the former technique for assessment of human body composition. DESIGN Proton magnetic resonance spectra of the chest to a...

Assessment of Cerebellar Metabolites Levels in Athletes Compared to Non-Athlete by Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Background: Adaptability to exercise training can increase the plasticity of the brain, and whether this can be due to a beneficial change in the neurometabolites, is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate basal metabolic concentrations of cerebellum, including N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) and Cholin(Cho) in athletes and compare them with non-athlete subjects. Materials and Methods: I...

P63: Automatic Detection of Glioblastoma Multiforme Tumors Using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Data Based on Neural Network

Inflammation has been closely related to various forms of brain tumors. However, there is little knowledge about the role of inflammation in glioma. Grade IV glioma is formerly termed glioblastoma multiform (GBM). GBM is responsible for over 13,000 deaths per year in the America. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most commonly used diagnostic method for GBM tumors. Recently, use of the MR...
