This website aims to provide an effective educational tool of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) for radiology residents in a brief easy-to-understand format.  From our experience MRS seems an uninteresting subject to many residents. This stems from the fact that the subject is difficult and usually is not well-explained.  We attempt to address the concepts of MRS from the point of view that is most practical for radiologists.  We emphasize the technical information only when it is needed to clarify the explanations.   Illustrations are  provided to clarify the concepts.  Clinical cases will be presented to supplement and enhance the learning process 

The progress of education depends very much on the exchange of ideas and positive criticisms among peers. Please provide us with your comments and suggestions on how to improve this site.  If there is a specific question or topic that you would like to discuss, please write to us.
