BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DW-MRS is a promising tool for the noninvasive
identification of the cellular response to cerebral ischemia. To date, the potential …

Iam excited and honored to introduce this special issue on met-abolic brain mapping of
brain disorders in theAmerican Journal of Neuroradiology. With the global extension of …

The editors of this book have done an excellent job of providing a comprehensive overview
of physiological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The text is very well organized and …

Clinical MRI depends on a symbiosis between MR physics and clinical requirements. The
imaging solutions are based on a balance between the “palette” of available image …

The authors begin with the technical details (relevant to a nonphysicist) on how clinical MR
imaging works. The fundamentals and pitfalls of single and multivoxel MRS, as well as the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MR) of ischemic cerebrovascular events with standard T1-and
T2-weighted spin-echo techniques is widely employed. Standard MR demonstrates vascular …

In this issue of the AJNR, Iannucci et al (page 1462) describe an application of diffusion-
weighted (DW) imaging, a relatively novel MR imaging technique, to the study of multiple …

Since the first descriptions of nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) in the 1950s, there has
been interest in using MR to measure the diffusion properties of water. 1 With the advent of …
