The impact of gadolinium-based contrast agents on H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy in normal brain area: a preliminary study.

Background: Giving contrast material before H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) could enhance the precision of locating the lesion of interest. However, evidence indicates that contrast material might influence the outcomes of MRS.

Purpose: To verify the effect of gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) on MRS in normal white matter.
