Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive imaging technique that measures the chemical composition of tissues, especially in the brain. Using strong magnetic fields and radio waves, it detects signals from different molecules, providing information about brain metabolism and biochemistry. Unlike standard MRI, which shows detailed images of structure, MRS offers insights into the chemical environment, helping doctors identify abnormalities like tumors, epilepsy, or neurological diseases. It’s a valuable tool for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring in neurological and medical research.
