Abstract
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) detects electromagnetic signals produced by the atomic nuclei within molecules that are present in living tissues. It can be used to obtain in situ concentration measures for certain chemicals in living systems. This chapter will introduce the physics and technology of MRS signal detection. It will also introduce a few basic biochemical concepts that are relevant to MRS.
