Hippocampus-MR Spectroscopy

"According to King et al in Radiology 2008;249:242-250 there is significant metabolic heterogeneity along anteroposterior axis of healthy hippocampus. Mean NAA, creatine, and choline concentrations are higher in posterior hippocampus than anterior hippocampus. Thereby implying that consistent voxel placement are important for correct comparisons of both absolute metabolic levels and metabolite ratios."
