Bimonthly Meeting on August 22, 2008 Chemical Information on Brain Tissue by Different Methods Amarjeet Bhullar
We have compared metabolite ratios, calculated using three different methods: Directly Generated by Functool Metabolites Concentration Generated by Functool Gaussian Function Overlapped on metabolite peak
S19.6 Exam ID: 4465 June 23, 2008 Patient Name: AD
Mathematical Model: Gaussian Function
We can solve this integral by numerically and by explicit expression Explicit Expression Numerically
How to compute metabolite concentration Spectrum
Concentration of the Choline Cho=Area under the curve between 3.34 and 3.19 PPM
Concentration of the Creatine Cre=Area under the curve between 3.16 and 3.00 PPM
Concentration of the NAA NAA=Area under the curve between 2.19 and 2.02 PPM
