Non
invasive investigations of the mouse spinal cord pathologies are currently
based on anatomic and diffusion MRI. In this work, we investigated whether
high-field MR Spectroscopy would be able to provide complementing biochemical
information useful to describe the lesion and the repair processes. This
preliminary study demonstrates the feasibility of longitudinal follow-ups
with localized 1H-MRS in injured mouse spinal cord.
