Title of Abstract : Baseline Estimation in 1H-MR Spectroscopy Imaging of the Normal Brain; A Correlation Study Between Different Regions
Venue : Salt Lake City/Utah/USA
From : Saturday, April 20, 2013
To : Friday, April 26, 2013
Abstract(Please copy/pastethe abstract sending the congress) : Variations of macromolecules and lipids within any anatomical region of the brain is highly correlated with the chemical compounds and therefore, metabolites’ concentrations of the same region, in both healthy and pathological conditions. There are several works about correlation between brain’s anatomical 
regions and metabolites’ concentrations. In this study, our purpose is to exhibit correlation between magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) baselines of different brain’s anatomical regions. Qingjia Bao et al.'s algorithm has been used for the baseline estimation. Then, correlation coefficients for estimated baselines of voxels belonging to specific regions in selected cut of the brain with all voxels from same cut or other cuts have been calculated.
Keywords of your Abstract : Scientists, physicists and clinicians interested in MRS of the brain, baseline estimation
