X Abstract

A toolbox for accurate and automatic analysis and visualization of MRSI is described. The toolbox is made up of two independent modules; automated spectroscopic image processing and visualization. The first module automatically analyzes and processes MRSI data. Spectral quantitation is realized by fitting the phased spectrum to approximated Voigt lineshape function using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The absolute metabolite concentrations are calculated relative to brain tissue water after correcting for the relaxation effects. The second module links the spectroscopic analysis data from the first module to the tissue segmentation, based on the high resolution MRI to follow metabolic changes in individual tissues such as gray matter, white matter and lesions. The visualization tools allow the display of metabolic concentrations and individual tissue volumes that contribute to a given MRSI voxel by a single mouse click. The image manager allows the display of multiple images that are linked by a common cursor for accurate identification of the spectral regions. This software tool has been tested on a large number of normal volunteers and is currently used for the analysis of multicenter proton MRSI data on multiple sclerosis patients.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
