Abstract
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been used in a variety of conditi ons affecting the central nervous system. Until now, only the brain has bee n studied, and spectroscopy of the spinal cord has not been previously repo rted. During the past 12 months, we have been experimenting with MRS of the cervical spinal cord of healthy volunteers. We present this technique, its current limitations, and possible future technological improvements and po tential applications.
