An introduction to magnetic resonance methods for clinical research.
It is very early in the era of exploiting the power of magnetic resonance methods. Great strides have been made in both diagnostic medical imaging and spectroscopy. Using high field strength instruments, normal and abnormal biochemistry within specific CNS regions and their response to interventions ultimately may be discernible. With technological improvements, it is to be expected that image quality will improve, and in vivo spectroscopy may move rapidly from the research environment into the clinical arena.
