Magnetic Spectroscopy

An MR spectroscopy exam is used to obtain pictures and graphs of the brain.

What is MR spectroscopy?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field instead of X-RAYs to provide pictures of the brain. MR spectroscopy uses graphs to study abnormalities of the brain.

How does the exam work?
MRI is a unique exam. Unlike standard X-RAYs, radioisotope studies, and even CT scanning, it does not rely on radiation. Instead, MRI uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to create sharp pictures – even different types of tissue within the same organ can be seen. An MRI exam most often consists of two to six sets of pictures, each lasting 2 to 15 minutes. Each set shows a cross-section of the body part.
