ABSTRACT

In this paper we study multiple sclerosis (MS) by means of spectroscopic quantitative techniques with proton magnetic resonance. This technique is important because it allows quantification of some of the principal metabolites in the central nervous system. It is known that in MS exist a specific concentration of metabolites directly related to the disease. In the study we first measured the metabolites in a control group of healthy individuals, and then compared them with measures taken from a group of patients with MS. To this day we have a control group of 24 individuals, and 2 patients of MS, and the objective is to continue studying more patients with the disease.
