magnetic resonance spectroscopy - Opis:
- Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a non-invasive method used to measure concentrations of selected metabolites in brain such as: N-acetylaspartate, creatine, choline, glutamic acid, myo-inositol, lactic acid or γ-aminobutyric acid. The MRS allows the researcher to obtain information about biochemical composition in selected localizations of the examined CNS and is based on the interpretation of spectra of specific chemical compounds. The aim of this study is a literature review of papers from last 5 years involving the use of MRS in multiple sclerosis. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a modern, promising metabolomic imaging method enabling the assessment of brain metabolite concentrations and the dynamism of their changes in healthy people and patients suffering from multiple sclerosis at every stage of the disease. MRS is helpful not only in correlating changes in metabolite concentrations at various central nervous system locations with clinical manifestations, but is also an increasingly improving tool for predicting disease progression. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy may also be useful in more specific clinical situations such as differential diagnosis between multiple sclerosis and Devic’s syndrome or between tumefactive demyelinating lesions and gliomas. Especially in the latter case, the development of this technology may in the future result in the possibility of avoiding invasive biopsy in patients during the diagnosis of focal changes in the CNS. One should also not forget about the role that MRS may play in the future in monitoring the course of treatment with modern MS drugs, not only in everyday clinical practice but also at the stage of clinical trials. The development of fast MRS techniques, significantly shortening the acquisition time and 7 T magnetic resonance spectroscopy, precise and repeatable method of quantitative analysis of brain metabolites may be particularly helpful in achieving these goals.
