• Research summary

  The aim of the study is to evaluate new magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy techniques and optimise existing techniques by adding them, with the patient's consent, into routine clinical examinations. These are implemented through modifications of the existing MRI system software. This helps us decide if a new technique is likely to benefit patients and worth further development.
