| Research Abstract |
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is currently used in the clinical practice for evaluation of metabolites in the human body, especially for differential diagnosis and evaluation of treatment efficacy in intracranial lesions. MRS would be also useful for spinal lesions, but there have been rarely used for spinal lesions, because of artifacts such as pulsation of cerebrospinal fluid or movement of spinal cord itself. In my experiment, MRS proved to be useful in spinal lesions, using ultra high field scanner with high spatial resolution and signal noise ratio.
