Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Medical Definition: Spectroscopic method of measuring the magnetic moment of elementary particles such as atomic nuclei, protons or electrons. It is employed in clinical applications such as NMR Tomography (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING).
Guide Notes: index under element or isotope used in performing the NMR spectroscopy only if discussed (probably NIM); do not confuse with MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING: check text; coord with disease, organ or tissue using pertinent qualifs; for diag use coord with disea
Also Called: In Vivo NMR Spectroscopy,Magnetic Resonance,Nuclear Magnetic Resonance,Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Canadian Medical Guide Definition Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy - A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Biomolecular - NMR spectroscopy on small- to medium-size biological macromolecules. This is often used for structural investigation of proteins and nucleic acids, and often involves more than one isotope.
