| Abstract: | "Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides a fantastically flexible, quantitative, and non-invasive way of studying the incredibly complex biochemistry of the human brain. However, MRS is renowned as a difficult technique to master. Researchers who want to use MRS often don't have access to the expertise needed to successfully use this technique. This book aims to address this, by providing an accessible description of the principles of MRS from acquisition to successful analysis of MRS data. The text covers the fundamentals of what MRS is, the choices that go into selecting an acquisition approach, and how to analyse MRS data. Later chapters describe in detail how to plan, pilot, and acquire high-quality data. Illustrated examples show common artefacts and how to mitigate them by performing careful scanner calibration. This is all supplemented with online datasets and examples to enable the reader to obtain handson experience working with real data. The book provides a practical and approachable introduction for those new to the MRS field. As it does not require any background knowledge beyond basic mathematics and physics, this primer is essential reading for anyone wanting to work with MRS in neuroimaging or grasp the results coming from this highly flexible, non-invasive imaging modality"-- Oxford Academic. |
