1. Observes the real condition of the human brain and is applied to clarify the correlations between brain tissues controlling import functions and lesions (e.g. tumor or epilepsy lesions) to be removed before a brain operation for assessing the risk and feasibility of the operation.

2. Applied to early diagnosis of hemispheric infarct (and ischemic stroke) and assessment of tumor treatment effect; and distinguishes surviving tumors, sloughs, peripheral edemas and benign cysts.

3. Clinical applications include: brain blood flow measurement for assessing intracranial bypass necessity and infarct severity; hemoperfusion assessment after live bone transplant for femoral necrosis cases; irregular vascular hyperplasia measurement as a result of tumor for assessing tumor staging and treatment effect.

4. With magnetic resonance spectroscopy, physicians can detect the content of metabolic compounds in particular tissues without performing a biopsy.
