Test Code

MR spectrography, also known as Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides information about the biochemical composition of tissues. It complements MRI by revealing details about the concentration of specific molecules (metabolites) within a targeted region.

The basic principle that enables MR spectroscopy (MRS) is that the distribution of electrons within an atom cause nuclei in different molecules to experience a slightly different magnetic field. This results in slightly different resonant frequencies, which in turn return a slightly different signal.
