“…However, the Cho/Cr values showed difference with a p value of 0.03. The ratios computed with the RBFNN also compared favorably with those reported in literature [41][42][43][44][45]. The slight variations in the area ratios between published and our (RBFNN and LF) values are expected, since our values are averaged over all voxels covering different brain tissue types within the VOI whereas the published values are based on single voxel measurements.…”

“…Such measurements allowed quantitative analysis of neuroprotective events that follow adoptive transfer of Cop-1 immune cells. Previous studies using single-voxel 1 H MRSI showed reduced NAA/Cho ratios in the SN and thalamus of PD patients that were reversed after successful stereotactic thalamotomy, a procedure used to control symptoms in medically intractable PD (Baik et al, 2003). MRSI analysis of the striatum has yielded inconsistent results.…”

“…Its use as a diagnostic test for PD has been hampered by the inability of previous tests to precisely localize it to the SNpc, a necessary prerequisite because of the exacting relationship of NAA to neuronal injury and the requirement for high-field MRSI to ensure precise quantitative measurements (Clarke et al, 1997;Cruz et al, 1997;Federico et al, 1997;Brooks, 2000;Clarke and Lowry, 2000;Firbank et al, 2002;Baik et al, 2003). Nevertheless, a number of advantages to NAA measurements are evident, including its exclusive relationship to synthesis in neuronal mitochondria and reduction in mitochondrial dysfunction (Clark, 1998;Signoretti et al, 2001).…”

“…108 In PD patients receiving thalamotomy to control parkinsonian tremor, further reductions in NAA/choline ratios were reported in the substantia nigra after stereotaxic surgery. 140,141 Clinical improvements in motor function in the majority of patients after thalamotomy putatively arises from remote metabolic consequences beyond the lesion site.…”
