Applications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy to the investigation of neuropsychiatric disorders

S R Dager et al. Neuropsychopharmacology. 1992 Jun.

Abstract

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can noninvasively characterize tissue composition and metabolism in vivo without the need for radioactive isotope administration. For the neuropsychiatrist interested in the functional basis of disease, MRS offers an investigative tool capable of studying a wide variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. This report provides an overview of how MRS works, current and potential clinical applications for specific psychiatric populations, and limitations of the technology.
