Previous animal and human studies showed that photic stimulation (PS) increased cerebral
blood flow and glucose uptake much more than oxygen consumption, suggesting selective …

A modified ISIS method, for image‐selected localized proton magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (1H MRS), was used to determine the ratios and T2 relaxation times of proton …

The intrinsic nonuniformities in the transmit radiofrequency field from standard quadrature
volume resonators at high field are particularly problematic for localized MRS in areas such …

The ability to select a discrete region within the body for signal acquisition is a fundamental
requirement of in vivo NMR spectroscopy. Ideally, it should be possible to tailor the selected …

The difference between 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra obtained from the
human brain during euglycemia and during hyperglycemia is depicted as well-resolved …

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancers in men. A large number of men
are detected with PCa; however, the clinical behavior ranges from low-grade indolent …

This volume explains the biophysics and theory behind many MRI techniques and gives
examples of how these techniques are applied in cancer diagnosis and treatment. The first …

An improved image selected in vivo spectroscopy (ISIS) sequence for localized 31P
magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 7 T was developed. To reduce errors in localization …
