The study explored the diagnostic utility of different field strengths for the temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) which could be utilized to examine the concentrations of related metabolites. Four ratios of brain metabolites, including NAA/Cr, NAA/Cho, NAA/(Cho+Cr) and Cho/Cr were introduced to four control experiments with the Mann-Whitney U Test, the power analysis and the Paired T-Test adopted. Results suggested that 1.5T and 3.0T scanners might have comparable potential in distinguishing TLEs from HCs when 1H-MRS was used to identify patients with TLE.
