AB  - SUMMARY: 1H-MR spectroscopy is an established noninvasive MR imaging technique that can be helpful in the diagnosis of brain lesions and in treatment planning. Claustrophobia and body habitus preclude some patients from routine MR imaging in a closed-bore system. The development of 1H-MR spectroscopy for use in an open MR imaging system would enable a more complete characterization of brain lesions in these patients.
