Absolute concentrations of metabolites in the adult human brain in vivo: quantification of localized proton MR spectra.
Abstract
In vivo concentrations of cerebral metabolites were obtained by means of 52 single-voxel, localized proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic examinations of different regions of the brain performed in 26 healthy adults aged 21-32 years. The study was performed at 2.0 T with use of a circularly polarized head coil to ensure homogeneous radio-frequency excitation and signal reception. Proton MR spectra were obtained in the stimulated-echo acquisition mode under fully relaxed conditions (repetition time > or = 6,000 msec) and at short echo times (20 msec) to minimize corrections due to T1 and T2 attenuation and depict the spectra of metabolites with strongly coupled resonances. Absolute concentrations were obtained by means of calibration of resonance signal areas with those of pertinent metabolite solutions from separate studies and correction for coil loading and partial volume effects (eg, with perfused capillary networks and cerebrospinal fluid). The results provide a quantitative basis for studies of both normal human neurochemistry in vivo and metabolic alterations in diseases of the brain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
