Clinical MR Spectroscopy Techniques and Applications Barker Bizzi De Stefano

Description: Clinical MR Spectroscopy Techniques and Applications Covers all MR spectroscopy techniques and their clinical applications in neurological disorders, malignancies and musculoskeletal diseases. Peter B. Barker (Author), Alberto Bizzi (Author), Nicola De Stefano (Author), Rao Gullapalli (Author), Doris D. M. Lin (Author) 9780521868983, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 12 November 2009 274 pages 25.3 x 19.3 x 2 cm, 0.93 kg 'It is an excellent textbook for the initial foray into the topic and a great reference book … I would happily recommend [it] to anyone wanting to use MRS in clinical research and believe that it will encourage the use of this technology in mainstream practice.' The Lancet In vivo magnetic resonance spectrosopy (MRS) is increasingly being used in the clinical setting, particularly for neurological disorders. Clinical MR Spectroscopy – Techniques and Applications explains both the underlying physical principles of MRS and provides a perceptive review of clinical MRS applications. Topics covered include an introduction to MRS physics, information content of spectra from different organ systems, spectral analysis methods, recommended protocols and localization techniques, and normal age- and region-related spectral variations in the brain. Clinical applications in the brain are discussed for brain tumors, hypoxic and ischemic injury, infectious, inflammatory and demyelinating diseases, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, trauma and metabolic diseases. Outside of the brain, techniques and applications are discussed for MRS in the musculosketal system, breast and prostate. Written by leading MRS experts, this is an invaluable guide for anyone interested in in vivo MRS, including radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, oncologists and medical researchers.
