Evaluation of the diagnostic utility on 1.5T and 3.0T H magnetic resonance spectroscopy for temporal lobe epilepsy.

Background: H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) can be used to study neurological disorders because it can be utilized to examine the concentrations of related metabolites. However, the diagnostic utility of different field strengths for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to make quantitative comparisons of metabolites of TLE at 1.

Comparative study of bilateral putamen for patients with severe Parkinson's disease detected by H magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Background: The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is challenging because the clinical symptoms overlap with other neurodegenerative diseases. The discovery of reliable biomarkers is highly expected to facilitate clinical diagnosis. Through the analysis of the H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) in the putamen, the purpose of the study was to discuss the possibility of the difference in metabolite concentrations between the left and right putamen as biomarkers for patients with severe PD.
