  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Neural Metabolism In Vivo

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurobiology ((NEUROBIOL,volume 4))

Abstract

This chapter summarises the achievements of in-vivo phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) in the study of brain metabolism. The metabolites detectable by 31P MRS are described as also are the techniques used for spectrum analysis, signal localization and assessment of measures such as intracellular pH and magnesium. Many pathological applications of 31P MRS are also covered.
