Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019043648A1] A system and method identifies blast exposure by the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure absolute and relative concentrations of metabolites in specific brain regions in the central nervous system or brain. The system and method can be used as a diagnostic tool for the assessment of blast exposure. These chemical changes in the brain of those people suffering from blast exposure are different from those suffering from head injury, chronic pain and other neurological conditions.
