Objectives:
Upon
completion of this session, participants should be able to Describe fundamental principles of clinical MR
spectroscopy; Define diagnostic and management situations in which
there is a clinically significant justification for a MR spectroscopy examination; Explain crucial elements of the clinically indicated MR
spectroscopy examination; List key factors to be considered in developing a
radiological interpretation of the clinically indicated MR spectroscopy exam;
Summarize the recent evolution of MR spectroscopy technology.
