Synopsis

Keywords: Contrast mechanisms: Spectroscopy

Following from Dr. Lin’s introduction to spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging, this talk will focus on “edited-MRS”, a method to quantify metabolites that are hidden in a conventional spectrum, in particular GABA and glutathione. The talk will describe the method itself, advancements of this method, along with its utility and challenges in both its application and interpretation. It will also overview some of the recent applications. The goal is to provide an understanding of how edited-MRS works and factors to consider when using this approach and looking at data.
