Superior temporal metabolic changes related to auditory hallucinations: a 31P-MR spectroscopy study in antipsychotic-free schizophrenia patients
Structural deficits in the superior temporal cortex and transverse temporal gyri appear to be related to auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia, which are a key symptom of this disorder. However, the cellula...

Absolute quantitation of brain metabolites with respect to heterogeneous tissue compositions in 1H-MR spectroscopic volumes
Referencing metabolite intensities to the tissue water intensity is commonly applied to determine metabolite concentrations from in vivo 1H-MRS brain data. However, since the water concentration and relaxation pr...

Compatibility of temporary pacemaker myocardial pacing leads with magnetic resonance imaging: an ex vivo tissue study
The presence of temporary myocardial pacing leads is considered a safety contraindication for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim of this ex vivo tissue study was to measure the heating effects at the ti...

31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the frontal lobe of major depressed patients
Most research with 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) in affective disorders has been done in the field of bipolar disturbances. Reduced frontal and temporal lobe phosphomonoester (PME) concentrations...
