Estimation of Brainstem Neuronal Loss in ALS with in Vivo Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Neurol 50:72-77, Cwik,V.A.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS)may be used to quantify brainstem neuronal degeneration in ALS because of the neuronal localization of N-acetylaspartate and N-acetylaspartylglutamate,together termed NA,which are estimated with this technique.We conclude that proton MRS may quantify region-specific neuronal dysfunction in ALS.
