About the talk
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) is a powerful non-invasive tool for characterizing biochemical changes within tissue and has been widely used in psychiatric and neurologic diseases to estimate the relationship between metabolites and disease onset or progression. In this talk, I will introduce the basic concepts related to this technique, summarize the methodologies for obtaining such data, and present some clinical applications showing how the results can be valuable for making diagnoses, assessing prognosis, and monitoring response to treatment. Lastly, I will share our experiences in clinical translation of MR spectroscopy for evaluating patients with glioma.
