Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to study the chemical composition of tissues in the body. It works by detecting the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei, such as hydrogen, within the tissue. This allows for the identification and quantification of various metabolites, providing valuable information about the biochemical changes associated with diseases.
