Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive imaging technique that analyzes the chemical composition of tissues, especially in the brain. Using strong magnetic fields and radio waves, MRS detects signals from specific molecules, providing information about their concentration and chemistry. Unlike traditional MRI, which images structures, MRS offers insights into the metabolic processes and biochemical changes occurring in tissues, aiding in the diagnosis and understanding of conditions like tumors, epilepsy, and neurological disorders. It helps clinicians assess tissue health and function without surgery or biopsy.
