Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Multiple Sclerosis

Dramatic advances in the development and use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques provide quantitative measures for the heterogeneous substrates of multiple sclerosis (MS). This book examines the use of MRS in MS, thus contributing to the foundation of the "axonal hypothesis".
