| In medicine, the term **Magnetic Resonance Imaging** is referred to a set of techniques able to study morphological alterations or follow metabolic processes or both in living organisms. These techniques can be divided into sequences for image acquisition (//imaging//) and for spectroscopy study. In fact, the anatomical study with imaging (MRI) in normal and pathological conditions can be combined with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to quantify //in vivo// the levels of metabolites present in organs or lesions, and to follow alterations in these levels during evolution of a pathology or in response to therapeutic treatments. \\ | In medicine, the term **Magnetic Resonance Imaging** is referred to a set of techniques able to study morphological alterations or follow metabolic processes or both in living organisms.

| The information given by the magnetic resonance images are different from those of the other imaging methods, in fact it is possible the discrimination between tissues on the basis of their biochemical composition or of the water diffusion capacity in the tissues or through the use of proper parameters of the resonance phenomenon such as T<sub>1</sub> and T<sub>2</sub>. | The information given by the magnetic resonance images are different from those of the other imaging methods, in fact it is possible the discrimination between tissues on the basis of their biochemical composition or of the water diffusion capacity in the tissues or through the use of proper parameters of the resonance phenomenon such as T<sub>1</sub> and T<sub>2</sub>. | ||
