Session Number: WE-27
Overview
MR spectroscopy brings enormous value to basic and clinical research as well as clinical management. In this session, we will expose the audience to lesser-known MRS applications and developments towards disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Target Audience
Clinicians and basic scientists interested to learn about what amazing value MRS can bring about.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Recognize less common MRS applications used preclinically and clinically;
- Describe how MRS can diagnose infection and treatment response;
- Articulate how brain temperature measurements are performed and applied to disease and diagnosis; and
- Describe how MRS is applied towards exploring brain microstructure and activation.

| Insights into Brain Microstructure from DW-MRS
Marco Palombo
This lecture targets researchers and clinicians who are interested in using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DW-MRS) of metabolites for brain microstructure characterisation. The audience will learn the basic mechanisms underpinning in-vivo metabolites DW-MRS, how to extract complex microstructural features characterising the morphology of specific cell-types (i.e. neurons and glia), together with some clinical and preclinical applications. Particular effort will be made to give intuitive insight and exiting perspectives on novel DW-MRS applications for brain microstructure quantification.
