Magnetic Resonance in Experimental and Clinical Oncology: Proceedings of the 21st Annual Detroit Cancer Symposium Detroit, Michigan, USA - April 13 and 14, 1989

Over the past decade, techniques have been developed and implemented to observe metabolism noninvasively in localized regions of intact, living experimental animals and humans through the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). At the same time, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques developed in the 1970s and refined in this decade have been increasingly applied as a powerful clinical tool to probe human anatomy. Because of the unusual metabolic and physiologic characteristics o...
