| Research Abstract |
To develop non-invasive method of measuring metabolites in human brain, we explored two-dimensional spectroscopy method on high field MRI equipments. First, we proposed and developed new ISIS CT-PRESS method to achieve high sensitivity and demonstrated 1.7-fold higher sensitivity of glutamate in a human brain. Then, we developed a new quantitation method using ISIS CT-PRESS and demonstrated quantitation of glutamate in a human brain.
