New treatment option for Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Official title Non-Invasive Monitoring Of Metabolite Levels Using Novel And Adapted MR Spectroscopy Techniques
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05165537
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) funded project and the linked European project aim to improve magnetic resonance (MR) methods, specifically MR spectroscopy and metabolic imaging (making them more sensitive and accurate - also less dependent on motion), to extend them (making previously unobservable metabolites visible) and also to make them more stable (suitable for routine clinical use). Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is closely related to the widely used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
