The prospect for a therapeutic window for treatment of ischemic stroke encourages the noninvasive investigation of metabolic changes in acute ischemia. Recently, localized proton spectroscopy became available at 1.5-T magnetic resonance systems. In this study we evaluated the usefulness of combined...
