ПРИНЦИПЫ ГРУППИРОВКИ ДАННЫХ ПРИ ОЦЕНКЕ РЕЗУЛЬТАТОВ МНОГОВОКСЕЛЬНОГО СПЕКТРОСКОПИЧЕСКОГО ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ ГОЛОВНОГО МОЗГА

Interest to the clinical use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) increased significantly over the last years due to equipment enhancement of the modern MR-scanners as well as broadening the options of the MRS method. In particular the multivoxel spectroscopy is becoming widely used where is of great importance not only interpretation of the magnetic resonance spectra, but also correct grouping of voxels for the accurate evaluation of metabolites abnormalities and estimation of the regional metabolic differences. Respectively, authors present their recommendations for the voxel grouping in the multivoxel spectroscopic magnetic resonance examination. The variants of grouping are presented based on the example of one-slice brain multivoxel spectroscopy. The article can be useful for the medical researchers and MRI practitioners who use MRS in clinical practice.
