The early diagnosis of disease depends on accurately identifying naturally occurring chemical compounds involved in the numerous biological pathways that sustain life. Instead of simply acquiring an image of diseased tissue, magnetic resonance images can be created by carefully applying radio-frequency (RF) pulses or waves to allow only those signals of interest in very specific molecules (generally referred to as “metabolites”) to be observed. In addition, no other compounds or dyes need to be introduced into the subject to acquire the picture. This has the great advantage that the natural state is observed and cannot be complicated by unnecessary interventions. New and exciting methods are being written and used here at OMRF with the goal that these will be utilized in human clinical MRI systems for the early detection, treatment and monitoring of disease.
