Description: Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the developed world. Advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allow noninvasive measurements of brain metabolite concentrations that may be useful in the future. Currently, MRS is not generally used in clinical stroke MR exams, particularly due to the time-sensitive nature of acute treatments. However, MRS holds a great deal of promise for research in trying to understand some of the underlying mechanisms behind stroke recovery and as a means to identify potential treatment targets to enhance rehabilitation.
