Description Module

Brief Summary

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allows non-invasive measurement of the concentration of up to 18 metabolites in the brain ("neurochemical profile").

The objective of this proposal is to develop new methods for high-field brain MRS (3 to 7 Tesla).

Our main hypothesis is that higher magnetic fields lead to improved spatial and temporal resolution and improved quantification precision.

Aims

To obtain improved "neurochemical profiles" in the brain using single voxel proton MRS at very high field (3 Tesla to 7 Tesla).
To develop new methods for proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) to obtain metabolic maps at very high field (3 Tesla to 7 Tesla).

Since this project is focused on technical development, only healthy volunteers will be recruited (no patients).

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Precision of quantification of brain metabolites concentrations	This protocol is devoted exclusively to technical development and testing of MRS methods on our MR scanners. As such, there is no well-defined outcome measure or time frame. It is a continuous effort. We recruit subjects on an ongoing basis to test, optimize, and assess the performance of newly developed techniques.	One time only
