IMAGING SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE WITH MR THERMOMETRY USING PARAMAGNETIC LANTHANIDE COMPLEXES AND IN VIVO GABA MR SPECTROSCOPY IN MOVEMENT DISORDERS

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular imaging modality due to its ability to provide excellent soft tissue contrast without exposure to ionizing radiation. It can be used for temperature monitoring (thermometry) as well as for assessing the biochemistry in vivo (MRS). This dissertation focuses separately on the development, application and quantitation issues of these two aspects of MRI.
