Why the study?
Are postoperative changes in cerebral metabolites measured by MR spectroscopy associated with cognitive changes after carotid endarterectomy?
Are postoperative changes in cerebral metabolites measured by MR spectroscopy associated with cognitive changes after carotid endarterectomy?
Changes in cerebral metabolites measured by 3T proton MR spectroscopy are associated with cognitive changes after carotid endarterectomy.
Suggests MR spectroscopy may track cognitive recovery after CEA; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Postoperative changes in cerebral metabolites measured by using proton MR spectroscopy were associated with changes in cognitive function after CEA.
