Lin AP, Ross BD J Comput Assist Tomogr 2001 Sep-Oct;25(5):705-12 PMID: 11584229 Abstract PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to quantify the impact of contrast agents on short-TE single-voxel 1H MR spectroscopy (MRS) diagnosis of recurrent brain tumors. METHOD: Short-TE 1H MRS was performed in 49 patients with biopsy-proven… read more →
Lin AP, Shic F, Enriquez C, Ross BD MAGMA 2003 Feb;16(1):29-42 PMID: 12695884 Abstract Cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is not fully explained. PET indicates reduced cerebral metabolic rate for glucose. Since glutamate neurotransmission (GNT) consumes more than 80% of the ATP generated from metabolism, a pilot study was… read more →
Cecil KM, Lin A, Ross BD, Egelhoff JC J Comput Assist Tomogr 2002 Sep-Oct;26(5):818-20 PMID: 12439321 Abstract Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) revealed a distinct resonance at 3.15 ppm in the brain of a 5-year-old male diagnosed with autism. The resonance assignment is attributable to ingestion of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) as… read more →
Ross B, Lin A, Harris K, Bhattacharya P, Schweinsburg B NMR Biomed 2003 Oct-Nov;16(6-7):358-69 PMID: 14679500 Abstract 13C MRS was installed on a clinical scanner at 1.5 T in order to facilitate integrated MR examinations of human brain disorders. Using a simplified protocol, (1-(13)C) glucose and/or (1-(13)C) acetate were administered… read more →
Lin A, Ross BD, Harris K, Wong W NeuroRx 2005 Apr;2(2):197-214 PMID: 15897945 Abstract Anatomic and functional neuroimaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) includes the technology more widely known as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Now a routine automated “add-on” to all clinical magnetic resonance scanners, MRS, which assays regional neurochemical… read more →
England B, Lee A, Tran T, Faw H, Yang P, Lin A, Colletti P, Roth F, Ross BD J Cardiovasc Magn Reson 2005;7(5):827-34 PMID: 16353444 Abstract Current patient selection criteria for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), an efficacious treatment for heart failure, include no measure of disconjugate cardiac contractility other than… read more →
Harris K, Lin A, Bhattacharya P, Tran T, Wong W, Ross B Adv. Exp. Med. Biol. 2006;576:263-73; discussion 361-3 PMID: 16802718 Abstract
Lin AP, Tran TT, Ross BD NMR Biomed 2006 Jun;19(4):476-83 PMID: 16763969 Abstract Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a robust, non-invasive means of defining aspects of human neurochemistry. After more than two decades, it is clear that in addition to its scientific interest, MRS has diagnostic value in tumor diagnosis,… read more →
Lin AP, Bennett E, Wisk LE, Gharib M, Fraser SE, Wen H Magn Reson Med 2008 Jul;60(1):8-13 PMID: 18581403 Abstract The walls of conduit arteries undergo cyclic stretching from the periodic fluctuation of arterial pressure. Atherosclerotic lesions have been shown to localize to regions of excessive stretching of the arterial… read more →
Tran T, Ross B, Lin A Neurol Clin 2009 Feb;27(1):21-60, xiii PMID: 19055974 Abstract In this article, we review the role of MRS in neurologic diagnosis and patient care. Technical discussion focuses on the few remaining issues, localization, spectral display, and interpretation because interesting questions surrounding this widely diverse methodology… read more →
