From harbour to hospital
Professor Stanwell is an active clinical researcher in the area of mild traumatic brain injury and sport-related concussion.
Originally engaged in non-destructive testing in heavy industry, Professor Peter Stanwell’s career has taken him on a colourful journey through the development of a number of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques and applications.
Some of Peter’s first jobs had him taking x-ray images of welded bulkheads on Newcastle’s iconic Stockton ferry, the Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis and some of the biggest mining draglines in the world. But after taking radiographs of metal welds, he sought a greater challenge.
“I’d always been interested in the human body, and how diseases were diagnosed and treated by doctors. After using radiation in industrial applications I got curious about what else x-rays could be used for.”
Peter enrolled at UON to study diagnostic radiography, and after working as a radiographer at John Hunter Hospital went on to pursue a 12-month clinical fellowship in MRI at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, USA.
“I had been working clinically at the John Hunter Hospital and in 1993 HNE Health announced they would be installing an MRI scanner.”
“I could see it was a new technology and a greater challenge.”
Since its introduction in the 1990s, MRI has proved to be a safer, more accurate and less invasive diagnostic test than a number of other traditional medical tests. Moreover, MRI is a safe and accurate way to measure any number of physiological attributes that are not only useful in diagnosis but also in measuring response to certain drugs and therapies. MRI is now used in many clinical trials to assess early response to therapies in conditions such as cancer, dementia and arthritis and provides a more personalised approach to therapies. It is now estimated that 180 million MRI scans are performed annually worldwide.
Innovative researchers like Peter work to integrate this technology into clinical practise, such that MRI measurements can be routinely used throughout development and improvement of therapeutics.
“If we don't understand the pathologic mechanisms involved in a health condition, then we’re limited in how we can treat it.”
“Once we can quantify attributes associated with a health condition, we have a means to work out whether a treatment is effective or not.”
The beginning of an influential research career
“After my time at Johns Hopkins, I decided I wanted to get involved in medical research. Hopkins was just such a powerhouse of medical innovation. They used cutting-edge technologies every day to improve patients’ lives.”
Peter didn’t have to wait long for an opportunity to arise.
“After setting up a clinical MRI service at Wagga Wagga, I found myself establishing a shared clinical and research MRI facility at The Sydney Adventist Hospital, which was used by clinicians as well as medical researchers from the University of Sydney.
“I spent half my time undertaking diagnostic radiology studies for San Radiology, and half my time working alongside medical researchers, and it was through this work that I was offered the opportunity to undertake my PhD at University of Sydney.”
Having spent time using this specialist equipment, utilised by researchers as well as clinicians, Peter became more interested in the field of personalised therapy, and where these collaborations could lead.
“I started thinking, ‘why don't we combine the two - clinical and research practises - and see if we can then personalise people's therapies?’”
Translational research
Throughout his postgraduate studies, Peter developed new imaging approaches for investigating chronic pain, melanoma and breast and ovarian cancer. These methods saw him recruited to work as a MRI physicist in the Department of Radiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and becoming an Instructor in Radiology at Harvard Medical School before he had even finished putting his thesis together.
Throughout his time in the United States, Peter developed and implemented diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced (dCE) MRI techniques which is still used today in pre-surgical planning for mesothelioma patients. He also created the MR imaging protocols that became the standard technique to investigate patients with breast disease at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and other Harvard-affiliated hospitals. And he worked with teams of research radiographers to increase their knowledge in advanced MRI techniques to enhance their research capabilities.
A desire to return home brought Peter back to Newcastle, where he began collaborating with Professors Chris Levi and Mark Parsons on their stroke research.
“I initially split my time between Newcastle and Boston, flying back and forth up to six times a year so that I could continue my clinical work with Brigham and Women’s and support medical researchers at Harvard Medical School.”
Inspiring the next generation of innovators
Peter eventually found a home teaching MRI to medical radiation science students at his alma mater, where, like the rest of the world, it is now taught in undergraduate degrees in medical radiation science.
“Students need to know the nuts and bolts of the technology - that will allow them to comprehend the physical principles of MRI so they can understand how to use them to study specific biological processes. If you are going to be truly innovative, you need that fluid understanding, or you’ll just end up replicating what someone else has already done."
“I also think it’s incredibly important for researchers to understand that we’re not going to go on forever and we need to train the next generation.”
Optimising cancer treatment
Although chemotherapy is the standard of care for many cancer patients, the side effects can be hugely distressing. When Peter saw ongoing development of personalised cancer treatment in Boston, it occurred to him that medical imaging could play a role in monitoring a patient’s individual biological response to cancer treatments.
One of Peter’s ongoing research projects, in collaboration with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, is in chemotherapy response prediction in breast cancer. He also working on a project using MRI to monitor cancer response following chemoradiation.
“Depending on the type of cancer, particular MRI metrics can predict within 48-72 hours after the initial treatment whether or not the patient is going to respond to the delivered therapy. This is incredibly important information to guide treatment.
“If you can measure something, you can help diagnose it and you can help to tailor individual therapy to optimise successful cancer treatment.”
The true impact of mild traumatic brain injury
“Once I started teaching at UON, I also began to supervise my own PhD students and one of them (Dr Andrew Gardner) was interested in sport-related concussion.”
This in turn sparked Peter’s interest in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and the impact that these common brain injuries can have in later life.
Abnormalities are rarely observed on radiology tests following mTBI, as the structural and physiological imprint is below the threshold of detection of conventional neuroimaging methods. However, newer, advanced MRI techniques that are able to probe human physiology have recently afforded an opportunity to study the after effects of mild brain injuries. Moreover, it is these techniques, and the window that they provide into physiological changes, that has increased our knowledge of how mTBI affects brain function, and how the brain recovers from brain injury.
The finer details
Studies in this field are particularly difficult to perform due to the variable latency period between the injury itself and the manifestation of symptoms, usually in later adulthood.
“I’ve now started working with collaborators at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Melbourne who have a model for mTBI. Together we’ve started investigations comparing MRI scans of intact brains with the latest microscopy techniques to look at the finer details, beyond what MRI can tell us. This work is being enhanced by collaboration with the 3D Tissue Clearing and Lightsheet Microscopy Facility, led by Dr Jamie Flynn from HMRI, with access to the Facility’s bespoke CLARITY light-sheet microscope which will allow us to co-register 3D lightsheet microscopy datasets with in-vivo MRI datasets.”
By comparing these two datasets – in vivo experiments and advanced microscopy techniques - we hope to validate the use of MRI metrics in this new context. Additionally, Peter hopes to discover how exactly mTBI develops into the serious neurological conditions that some patients experience in late adulthood.
“If we can understand it, we can do something about it.
“My hope is that we can advance the understanding of traumatic brain injury and identify practical biomarkers of mTBI - so that evidence-based medical decisions can be made that will transform the clinical management of these injuries worldwide.
“I do sometimes stop and think, ‘How did I get from taking x-rays on ships to undertaking medical research at Harvard?’”, Peter laughs.

Neuroimaging studies show alterations in brain morphometry in chronic musculoskeletal pain, but reports on neck pain are scarce. Objective: This study investigates (1) differences in brain morphometry between individuals with chronic nonspecific neck pain and asymptomatic individuals and (2) associations between brain morphometry and patient-reported outcomes. Methods: Sixty-three participants (33 pain, 11 female, mean [SD] age 35 [10] years; 30 control, 12 female, age 35 [11] years) underwent magnetic resonance imaging. Brain regions of interest (ROIs) were determined a priori, outcomes included cortical thickness and volume. Between-group differences were determined using cluster-wise correction for multiple comparisons and analyses of pain-related ROIs. Results: Between-group differences in volume were identified in the precentral, frontal, occipital, parietal, temporal, and paracentral cortices. ROI analyses showed that parahippocampal cortical thickness was larger in the neck pain group (p=0.015, 95% CI: -0.27 to -0.03). Moderate to strong associations between volume and thickness of the cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, and temporal lobe and neck pain duration, pain intensity, and neck disability were identified (p-values 0.006 to 0.048). Conclusion: Alterations in brain morphology that are associated with clinical characteristics inform the mechanisms underlying chronic nonspecific neck pain and may guide the development of more effective treatment approaches.

Our understanding of this relationship and its level of association remains sub-optimal. This study sought to examine the association of pre-intervention collateral status with stroke aetiology, specifically large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and cardio-embolism (CE), in AIS patients receiving reperfusion therapy, by performing a meta-analysis. Methods: Relevant search terms were explored on Medline/PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases. Studies were included using the following inclusion criteria: (a) patients aged 18 or above; (b) AIS patients; (c) patients receiving reperfusion therapy; (d) total cohort size of >20, and (e) qualitative or quantitative assessment of pre-intervention collateral status on imaging using a grading scale. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association of aetiology with pre-intervention collateral status, and forest plots of risk ratio (RR) were generated. Results: A meta-analysis was conducted on seven studies, with a cumulative cohort of 1235 patients, to assess the association of pre-intervention collateral status with stroke aetiology. Patients with LAA were associated significantly with an increased rate of good collaterals (RR 1.24; 95% CI 1.04¿1.50; p = 0.020, z = 2.33). Contrarily, CE aetiology was associated significantly with a decreased rate of good collaterals (RR 0.83; 95% CI 0.71¿0.98; p = 0.027, z = -2.213). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that, in AIS patients receiving reperfusion therapy, LAA and CE aetiologies are associated significantly with collateral status.

[more] Importance: There is limited literature on the use of optical coherence tomography in the assessment of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness in sports-related repetitive mild traumatic brain injury. Background: To evaluate RNFL thickness in professional rugby league players. RNFL thinning may serve as a proxy for wider white matter degeneration. Design: Cross-sectional observational study. Participants: Thirteen retired Australian professional rugby league players were recruited. Methods: Participants underwent binocular optical coherence tomography to measure RNFL thickness. Each participant underwent a complete ophthalmic assessment to exclude concurrent disease. Main Outcome Measures: RNFL thickness of each eye were compared with a normative database. Results: Participants had played professional Rugby League for 18 years on average and reported sustaining 15 sports-related concussions throughout their career. The RNFL in participants was four micrometres thinner than that of matched normative data. Cohort average RNFL thickness was reduced in 12 out of 14 optical coherence testing parameters. These findings were statistically significant in the left inferonasal [P =.013] and left nasal [P =.006] sectors. There was no statistically significant relationship between RNFL thickness and other visual measures. Conclusions and Relevance: This study is the first to demonstrate RNFL thinning in a cohort of retired Australian professional Rugby League players. RNFL changes have been shown to correlate with cerebral white matter loss and neurodegeneration. Optical coherence tomography may serve as a safe and economical means of screening for repetitive traumatic brain injury related neurodegeneration in contact sport athletes.

Ho... [more] Introduction: The concept of ¿food addiction¿ (FA) has gained popularity in view of clinical and neurobiological overlaps between excessive food intake and addictive disorders. However, no studies have examined the link between FA and striatocortical circuits involved in addictive disorders, or the influence of homeostatic status, which regulates the drive to eat, on these systems. This study aims to investigate changes in striatal functional connectivity between fasted and fed conditions among adults ranging in body mass index (BMI) and FA symptoms. Methods: Thirty adults were recruited from the general community and completed self-reported surveys including demographics, FA symptoms using the Yale Food Addiction Scale, as well as height and weight measures, used to determine BMI. Participants completed two 3-T MRI scans, one in a fasted state and one in a fed state. We conducted seed-based analyses to examine between-session (¿fasted > fed¿) change in resting-state functional connectivity of the ventral and dorsal striatum, and its association with FA scores (controlling for BMI). Results: Higher symptoms of FA correlated with greater changes in ventral caudate-hippocampus connectivity between fasted and fed conditions. FA symptoms did not correlate with connectivity in the dorsal caudate circuit. Post-hoc analyses revealed that participants with higher symptoms of FA had ventral caudate-hippocampus hyperconnectivity in the fasted scan only, as well as a significant reduction of this connectivity between the fasted and fed scans. Conclusions: Heightened connectivity in the ventral striatum during a fasted state, which has been linked to reward prediction signals, underpins symptoms of FA. In contrast, connectivity in the dorsal striatum or ¿habit¿ system is unrelated to homeostatic status and FA symptoms, and is thus less relevant for subclinical manifestations of FA.

Factors associated with late stage (12-24 h) perilesional hyperperfusion, identified using arterial spin labelling, are poorly defined. A prospective cohort of acute ischaemic stroke patients presenting within 4.5 h of symptom onset were assessed with multi-modal computed tomography acutely and magnetic resonance imaging at 24 ± 8 h. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristics curves were used. One hundred and nineteen hemispheric acute ischaemic stroke patients (mean age = 71 ± 12 years) with 24 h arterial spin labelling imaging were included. Forty-Two (35.3%) patients showed perilesional hyperperfusion on arterial spin labelling at 24 h. Several factors were independently associated with perilesional hyperperfusion: good collaterals (71% versus 29%, P < 0.0001; OR = 5, 95% CI = [1.6, 15.7], P = 0.005), major reperfusion (81% versus 48%, P = < 0.0001; OR = 7.5, 95% CI = [1.6, 35.1], P = 0.01), penumbral salvage (76.2% versus 47%, P = 0.002; OR = 6.6, 95% CI = [1.8, 24.5], P = 0.004), infarction in striatocapsular (OR = 9.5, 95% CI = [2.6, 34], P = 0.001) and in cortical superior division middle cerebral artery (OR = 4.7, 95% CI = [1.4, 15.7], P = 0.012) territory. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.91. Our results demonstrate good arterial collaterals, major reperfusion, penumbral salvage, and infarct topographies involving cortical superior middle cerebral artery and striatocapsular are associated with perilesional hyperperfusion.

No studies, however, have used a longitudinal design to determine whether these addictive-like eating behaviours are a stable or transient phenomenon in a community-based population. This study aimed to evaluate whether food addiction Diagnosis and Symptom scores as assessed by the YFAS remain stable over 18-months in a non-clinical population. Young adults aged 18-35 years were recruited from the community to a web-based survey in 2013. The survey included demographics, anthropometrics and the YFAS. Participants who volunteered to be recontacted for future research were invited to complete the same survey 18-months later. The YFAS scoring outputs Diagnosis and Symptom scores were tested for agreement and reliability between the two time points. Of the 303 participants who completed the original survey and agreed to be recontacted, 69 participants (22.8% of those recontacted, 94% female, 67% normal weight at baseline) completed the 18-month follow-up survey. At baseline, thirteen participants met the YFAS predefined criteria for Diagnosis, while eleven participants met these criteria at the 18-month follow-up. YFAS Diagnosis was found to have moderate agreement [K = .50, 95% CI (.23, .77)] between the two time points while Symptom scores had good agreement [K = .70, 95% CI (.54, .83)]. Intraclass correlation coefficients were interpreted as moderate over the 18-month period for both the Diagnosis [ICC = .71, 95% CI (.45, .88)] and Symptom scores [ICC = .72, 95% CI (.58, .82)]. YFAS assessed food addiction Diagnosis and Symptom scores were found to be relatively stable over 18-months in a non-clinical population of predominantly female, young adults. Future research is required to determine the impact of behavioural weight loss interventions on YFAS assessed addictive-like eating.

[more] Purpose: The feasibility of radiation therapy treatment planning using substitute computed tomography (sCT) generated from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) has been demonstrated by a number of research groups. One challenge with an MRI-alone workflow is the accurate identification of intraprostatic gold fiducial markers, which are frequently used for prostate localization prior to each dose delivery fraction. This paper investigates a template-matching approach for the detection of these seeds in MRI. Methods: Two different gradient echo T1 and T2* weighted MRI sequences were acquired from fifteen prostate cancer patients and evaluated for seed detection. For training, seed templates from manual contours were selected in a spectral clustering manifold learning framework. This aids in clustering "similar" gold fiducial markers together. The marker with the minimum distance to a cluster centroid was selected as the representative template of that cluster during training. During testing, Gaussian mixture modeling followed by a Markovian model was used in automatic detection of the probable candidates. The probable candidates were rigidly registered to the templates identified from spectral clustering, and a similarity metric is computed for ranking and detection. Results: A fiducial detection accuracy of 95% was obtained compared to manual observations. Expert radiation therapist observers were able to correctly identify all three implanted seeds on 11 of the 15 scans (the proposed method correctly identified all seeds on 10 of the 15). Conclusions: An novel automatic framework for gold fiducial marker detection in MRI is proposed and evaluated with detection accuracies comparable to manual detection. When radiation therapists are unable to determine the seed location in MRI, they refer back to the planning CT (only available in the existing clinical framework); similarly, an automatic quality control is built into the automatic software to ensure that all gold seeds are either correctly detected or a warning is raised for further manual intervention.

While other injuries incurred by rugby league players have been well studied, less focus and attention has been directed towards concussion. Review method: The current review examined all articles published in English from 1900 up to June 2013 pertaining to concussion in rugby league players. Data sources: Publications were retrieved via six databases using the key search terms: rugby league, league, football; in combination with injury terms: athletic injuries, concussion, sports concussion, sports-related concussion, brain concussion, brain injury, brain injuries, mild traumatic brain injury, mTBI, traumatic brain injury, TBI, craniocerebral trauma, head injury and brain damage. Observational, cohort, correlational, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were all included. Results: 199 rugby league injury publications were identified. 39 (20%) were related in some way to concussion. Of the 39 identified articles, 6 (15%) had the main aim of evaluating concussion, while the other 33 reported on concussion incidence as part of overall injury data analyses. Rugby league concussion incidence rates vary widely from 0.0 to 40.0/1000 playing hours, depending on the definition of injury (time loss vs no time loss). The incidence rates vary across match play versus training session, seasons (winter vs summer) and playing position (forwards vs backs). The ball carrier has been found to be at greater risk for injury than tacklers. Concussion accounts for 29% of all injuries associated with illegal play, but only 9% of injuries sustained in legal play. Conclusions: In comparison with other collision sports, research evaluating concussion in rugby league is limited. With such limited published rugby league data, there are many aspects of concussion that require attention, and future research may be directed towards these unanswered questions.

Volunteers were scanned using the standard MR scanning protocol with the MR coil directly strapped on the external body and the volunteer lying on the original scanner table. They also were scanned using a MR-simulation table top and pelvic coil mounts. MR images from both setups were compared in terms of body contour variation and image quality effects within particular organs of interest. Six-field conformal plans were generated on the two images with assigned bulk density for dose calculation. With the MR-simulation devices, the anterior skin deformation was reduced by up to 1.7 cm. The hard tabletop minimizes the posterior body deformation which can be up to 2.3 cm on the standard table, depending on the weight of volunteer. The image signal-to-noise ratio reduced by 14% and 25% on large field of view (FOV) and small FOV images, respectively, after using the coil mount; the prostate volume contoured on two images showed difference of 1.05 ± 0.66 cm3. The external body deformation caused a mean dose reduction of 0.6 ± 0.3 Gy, while the coverage reduced by 22% ± 13% and 27% ± 6% in V

Although energy-dense, hyper-palatable foods are hypothesized to be associated with addictive-like eating behaviors, few studies have assessed this in humans. ObjectiveTo evaluate in young adults whether intakes of specific foods are associated with 'food addiction', as assessed by the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), and to describe the associated nutrient intake profiles. DesignAustralian adults aged 18-35. years were invited to complete an online cross-sectional survey including demographics, the YFAS and usual dietary intake. Participants were classified as food addicted (FAD) or non-addicted (NFA) according to the YFAS predefined scoring criteria. ResultsA total 462 participants (86% female, 73% normal weight) completed the survey, with 14.7% (n = 68) classified as FAD. The FAD group had a higher proportion of females (p =. 01) and higher body mass index (p< .001) compared to NFA. Higher YFAS symptom scores were associated with higher percentage energy intake (%E) from energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods including candy, take out and baked sweet products, as well as lower %E from nutrient-dense core foods including whole-grain products and breakfast cereals. These remained statistically significant when adjusted for age, sex and BMI category (p = .001). ConclusionsStatistically significant associations were identified between YFAS assessed food addiction and dietary intake, specifically intakes of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods. However, the effect sizes were small limiting clinical applications. Further examination of the relationship between addictive-like eating and intake of specific foods in a nationally representative sample is warranted.

Only one tool, the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) has been developed to specifically assess food addiction. This review aimed to determine the prevalence of food addiction diagnosis and symptom scores, as assessed by the YFAS. Published studies to July 2014 were included if they reported the YFAS diagnosis or symptom score and were published in the English language. Twenty-five studies were identified including a total of 196,211 predominantly female, overweight/obese participants (60%). Using meta-analysis, the weighted mean prevalence of YFAS food addiction diagnosis was 19.9%. Food addiction (FA) diagnosis was found to be higher in adults aged >35 years, females, and overweight/obese participants. Additionally, YFAS diagnosis and symptom score was higher in clinical samples compared to non-clinical counterparts. YFAS outcomes were related to a range of other eating behavior measures and anthropometrics. Further research is required to explore YFAS outcomes across a broader spectrum of ages, other types of eating disorders and in conjunction with weight loss interventions to confirm the efficacy of the tool to assess for the presence of FA.

[more] Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive intervention altering neural plasticity by modulating neuronal excitability of pre- and postsynaptic neuron populations, which has been shown to improve depression symptoms and cognition. We investigated the effects of a single session of 20 min of 2 mA left-prefrontal anodal versus sham stimulation on auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in 11 male and 5 female healthy subjects (mean age of 28.6 [SD 6.2] years) by employing a randomized single-blind crossover design. Stimulation effects on cortical glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Glx) levels were subsequently measured in 12 of the 16 healthy subjects in a 3 T proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy scan. tDCS was associated with a significant increase of N1 amplitudes while smaller P3b amplitudes correlated with higher cortical Glu and Glx levels in the stimulated brain area when performing an auditory go/no-go discrimination task. tDCS did not change mismatch negativity, nor task performance or cortical Glu/Glx levels which, together with N1 amplitudes, depended on stimulation order ("sham" versus "active"). Increased N1 amplitudes are consistent with higher levels of cortical excitability following prefrontal anodal tDCS. The failure to replicate Glu/Glx changes with tDCS may have been masked by between-session carry-over effects while ceiling effects may have masked tDCS effects on task performance. © 2014 Elsevier GmbH.

Motor control exercises, and potentially manual therapy, can induce changes in the CNS, yet the focus in musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice is conventionally on movement impairments with less consideration of intervention-induced neuroplastic changes. Studies in healthy individuals and those with neurological dysfunction provide examples of strategies that may also be used to enhance neuroplasticity during the rehabilitation of individuals with musculoskeletal dysfunction, improving the effectiveness of interventions. In this paper, the evidence for neuroplastic changes in patients with musculoskeletal conditions is discussed. The authors compare and contrast neurological and musculoskeletal physiotherapy clinical paradigms in the context of the motor learning principles of experience-dependent plasticity: part and whole practice, repetition, task-specificity and feedback that induces an external focus of attention in the learner. It is proposed that increased collaboration between neurological and musculoskeletal physiotherapists and researchers will facilitate new discoveries on the neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning sensorimotor changes in patients with musculoskeletal dysfunction. This may lead to greater integration of strategies to enhance neuroplasticity in patients treated in musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice.

Many conditions are known to exhibit a disturbance in Glu-Gln equilibrium, and the exact relationships between these changed conditions and these amino acids are not fully understood. This has led to increased interest in Glu/Gln quantitation in the human brain in an array of conditions (e.g. mental illness, tumor, neuro-degeneration) as well as in normal brain function. Accordingly, this review has been undertaken to describe the increasing number of in vivo techniques available to study Glu and Gln separately, or pooled as 'Glx'. The present MRS methods used to assess Glu and Gln vary in approach, complexity, and outcome, thus the focus of this review is on a description of MRS acquisition approaches, and an indication of relative utility of each technique rather than brain pathologies associated with Glu and/or Gln perturbation. Consequently, this review focuses particularly on (1) one-dimensional 1H MRS, (2) two-dimensional 1H MRS, and (3) one-dimensional 13C MRS techniques. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
